The match between Kerala Blasters and Odisha FC in the ISL will be played at the scheduled time (tonight at 7.30 pm). Kovid was confirmed yesterday by a player of Odisha FC. The match against the Blasters was in doubt due to contact with other players. But when you look at the other players, their results are all negative. With this, it was decided to play the game.
Odisha FC is the third club after FC Goa and ATK Mohan Bagan to confirm the virus to a member of the team. ATK Mohan Bagan’s match against Odisha FC was postponed a few days back. The decision came in the wake of the Kovid case report. But ISL CEO Martin Bain told clubs that matches could not always be rescheduled in the Kovid cases.
The match will be played at the Tilak Maidan in Goa at 7.30 pm. If they win today, the Blasters can return to the top of the points table. The Blasters are second with 17 points from 10 matches with 4 wins and 5 draws and one defeat. Earlier in the season, when Odisha and Kerala met, the victory was for Kerala.
With eight wins from four matches, four draws and four defeats, ODA FC, who are eighth in the table with 8 points, need another game to return to the season.
