Summary
- Kerala Blasters riding high on confidence after two commanding wins
- Striker Koldo Obieta in red-hot form, scoring 3 goals in 2 matches
- Blasters' defense yet to be breached, with a reliable backline

On November 10, 2025, Kerala Blasters FC (KBFC) will face off against Mumbai City FC (MCFC) in a high-stakes Super Cup Group D match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda. The Blasters, currently leading the group with six points from two matches, are riding high on confidence after two commanding wins and are looking to secure a place in the semifinals.
Head coach David Catala has praised his team's attacking fluidity and defensive solidity, stating that the players have developed great balance between structure and creativity. Spanish striker Koldo Obieta has been in red-hot form, scoring three goals in his first two appearances, while the Blasters' backline, led by Juan Rodriguez and Bikash Yumnam, is yet to be breached in the competition.
For Mumbai City FC, the upcoming match is a must-win encounter after their narrow defeat to Rajasthan United FC in the previous round. The Islanders currently sit second in the group with three points and need a victory, ideally by a healthy goal margin, to stay in contention for a semifinal spot. Anything less than a win would see them eliminated, which means Petr Kratky's side is expected to come out with full attacking intent against the Blasters in what promises to be an intense, high-stakes battle at Fatorda.
