Kerala Blasters FC will lock horns with Jamshedpur FC in the second leg of their semi-final clash in the 2021-22 Indian Super League (ISL).
The first leg ended in favor of the Yellow Tuskers, who edged past the Men of Steel courtesy of Sahal Abdul Samad's first-half goal.
The Blasters have reached the play-offs after six long years and will look to build on their lead. However, head coach Ivan Vukomanovic has swept away all considerations based on the first-leg encounter.
Meanwhile, Owen Coyle may face the tough task of beating a resilient Blasters side to reach the ISL finals. The Men of Steel failed to breach the centre-back pairing of Ruivah Hormipam and Marko Leskovic in the first leg and need to do better in this match.

Match Lineup
Kerala Blasters (4-4-2): Prabhsukhan Singh Gill; Harmanjot Khabra, Ruivah Hormipam, Marko Leskovic, Sanjeev Stalin; Sahal Abdul Samad, Ayush Adhikari, Lalthathanga Khawlhring, Adrian Luna; Jorge Pereyra Diaz, Alvaro Vazquez.
Jamshedpur FC (4-2-3-1): TP Rehenesh; Laldinliana Renthlei, Eli Sabia, Peter Hartley, Ricky Lallawmawma; Mobashir Rahman, Pronay Halder; Seiminlen Doungel, Greg Stewart, Ritwik Das; Daniel Chima Chukwu.
KBFC sit in the driver's seat having secured a 1-0 win in the first leg, but a narrow lead will always be difficult to protect especially against a team like JFC, who were the second highest goal-scorers during the league stage.
Although they failed to find the back of the net in the first leg, JFC will always stand a chance to score with the likes of George Stewart and Daniel Chima Chukwu in the mix.
However, they will also need to be aware of KBFC hitting on the counter. As JFC will go all out to score a goal to stay alive in the contest, KBFC's pacy attackers may hurt them and score a goal themselves. So, both goalkeepers will play crucial roles in their sides' hopes of reaching the final.
