ISL is becoming more competitive by each passing day. Kolkata from being firm favourites are now struggling big time while Pune from wooden spooners are in contention for a spot in semi finals. A gripping battle is on the cards both teams will be looking for a win to keep their semi finals hopes alive.
Key Battles
Kostas Katsouranis vs Borja Fernández
This is the best midfield battle of ISL by some margin. Former Greek international vs a Spanish midfield general, oozing class all the way. Kostas has been the heart and soul of this Pune team as it has been visible that when he is kept in check Colomba’s boys struggle big time. Borja is an all action midfielder for Kolkata who does all the dirty work for his side. Watch this game only for this battle and you will have your monies worth!
Dudu Omagbemi vs Josemi
Dudu has replaced Pune’s star striker David Trezeguet very admirably. He will be looking to have a crack at a bit shaky Kolkata defense led by Josemi, who has been one of the consistent guys for Bong Boys. Josemi can match Dudu in every department this is what makes this a key battle. The Nigerian will have to be at his supreme best to get past the Spaniard.
