Fantasy Prediction: Inter Kashi vs Kerala Blasters Fantasy Team Prediction
Both teams start their ISL 2026-27 season today in Pune. Inter Kashi have a brand new squad with 16 new signings and no foreign players. Kerala Blasters have new owners, a new look squad and Adrian Luna back in yellow.
Neither side has had much time to train together. Inter Kashi had only two sessions under their new coach. Kerala had about a week. So expect a slow, careful start from both.
Recent Form
Both clubs last played a competitive game in May 2026, at the end of ISL 2025-26. A lot of players have changed since then, so read this form with care.
Inter Kashi (last 5, ISL 2025-26): Lost 1-2 to East Bengal (21 May), drew 0-0 with SC Delhi (17 May), drew 0-0 with Mohun Bagan SG (12 May), lost 2-3 to NorthEast United (2 May), lost 0-3 to Punjab FC (20 April). They finished 10th in their first ISL season.
Kerala Blasters (last 5, ISL 2025-26): Won 2-1 against FC Goa (last game of the season), won 3-1 against Mohammedan SC (10 May), won 2-1 against Odisha FC (23 April), won 2-0 against Jamshedpur FC (18 April), drew 1-1 with NorthEast United (15 April). They finished 8th and ended the season on a six game unbeaten run under Ashley Westwood.
Inter Kashi vs Kerala Blasters Head To Head
The two teams have met once in the ISL. Inter Kashi won 2-1 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on 28 February 2026. That was Inter Kashi’s first ever ISL win. Nauris Petkevicius and Alfred Planas scored for Kashi, and Victor Bertomeu scored for Kerala. None of those three scorers is in either squad for this game.
Team News: Inter Kashi
Head coach: Carlos Vaz Pinto. The Portuguese coach had two spells at Sreenidi Deccan and took charge of Kashi just before the season.
Captain: Sumeet Passi, the club’s longest serving player.
Squad: Kashi have registered 22 players, all Indian. A FIFA registration ban means no foreign players until the January window. Sixteen of the 22 are new signings, many of them from Jamshedpur FC, who are not in the ISL this season.
Key new signings: Goalkeeper Albino Gomes, centre back Pratik Chaudhari, right back Laldinliana Renthlei, midfielders Hitesh Sharma and Jitendra Singh, and forwards Rosenberg Gabriel, Manvir Singh (the former Jamshedpur player, not the Mohun Bagan winger), Sreekuttan V S and Ayush Chhikara.
Injuries: No injuries or suspensions reported.
Gone from last season: Alfred Planas (joined Punjab FC), Rohit Danu, Sandip Mandi, Nauris Petkevicius, David Humanes and Lluis Tarres are not in the 22 man squad.
Team News: Kerala Blasters
Head coach: Ashley Westwood. He took over from David Catala in March 2026 and stays on for 2026-27.
Squad: Kerala have named a 28 man squad. Adrian Luna is back after a loan spell at Persik in Indonesia.
New faces: Goalkeeper Amrinder Singh, defender James Bolton, midfielders Nebojsa Kosovic, Sahil Tavora, Mohammad Yasir and Paul Ramfangzauva, and forwards Andre Green, Mohammed Sanan and Ramhlunchhunga.
Out for this game: Defender Bikash Yumnam has a calf injury and is out for about a month. Striker Momo Yansane and defender Fallou Ndiaye are in the squad but have not joined the team yet because of visa delays. Both are expected back for the next game.
Probable Starting XIs
Inter Kashi (4-4-2): Albino Gomes; Laldinliana Renthlei, Pratik Chaudhari, Gursimrat Singh Gill, Wayne Vaz; Rosenberg Gabriel, Hitesh Sharma, Jitendra Singh, Manvir Singh; Sumeet Passi, Ayush Chhikara
Kerala Blasters (4-4-2): Amrinder Singh; Aiban Dohling, James Bolton, Hormipam Ruivah, Amey Ranawade; Mohammed Sanan, Freddy Lallawmawma, Nebojsa Kosovic, Korou Singh; Adrian Luna, Andre Green
Kerala could also go 4-3-3 with Naocha Singh at full back and M S Sreekuttan in the front three.
Final lineups come about an hour before kick off.
Top Fantasy Picks
Adrian Luna (Kerala Blasters, MID): Scored 3 goals and made 4 assists in 15 league games for Persik last season, including a goal and an assist against Semen Padang in May. He also has the most goal involvements in Kerala history with 15 goals and 27 assists. He takes set pieces too.
Albino Gomes (Inter Kashi, GK): Made 29 saves and kept 5 clean sheets in 13 ISL games for Jamshedpur last season. Kashi have had very little training, so he could be busy. Saves bring points even if Kashi lose.
Nebojsa Kosovic (Kerala Blasters, MID): The Montenegro international scored 4 goals in 26 games for Bangkok United. He has 34 goals and 35 assists in his senior career. He should run the middle for Kerala.
Amrinder Singh (Kerala Blasters, GK): Made 16 saves in 8 ISL games for Odisha last season. Kashi have little attacking firepower without foreign forwards, so he has a fair chance of a clean sheet.
Korou Singh (Kerala Blasters, FWD): Started all three of his ISL games last season and scored in the 3-0 Super Cup win over SC Delhi in November 2025. Both previews have him in the starting XI.
Rosenberg Gabriel (Inter Kashi, FWD): Made 2 assists in 9 ISL games for Jamshedpur last season. He should be Kashi’s main outlet on the wing.
Andre Green (Kerala Blasters, FWD): The former Aston Villa winger has 27 goals and 12 assists in 187 league games. Last season was quiet with 1 assist in 16 games, so he is a pick for bigger leagues more than safe ones.
