Team Previews
Forca Kochi FC
Under coach Miki Lladó, Forca Kochi have had a difficult SLK 2025 campaign so far, yet to pick up a point. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10} They now face a must-win game if they are to somehow keep playoff hopes alive.
Their defence has been porous and goal-difference large in the negative. Midfield link-up and attacking output will need major improvement. Key players include foreign recruits like Gino van Kessel and Luis Rodríguez (listed as part of squad) :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}. The home crowd will demand a spark.
- Gino van Kessel — Experienced attacker expected to lead the press.
- Luis Rodríguez — Foreign forward with pace and directness.
- Joel Mathews — Goalkeeper who must show leadership to steady the defence.
Thiruvananthapuram Kombans FC
The Kombans, coached by James McAloon, are showing signs of life this season and currently sit above Forca Kochi in the standings. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15} They will aim to build on that trend and assert dominance in Kochi.
Their attacking threat has been highlighted by Paulo Victor’s decisive goal earlier this season. They’ve also recently recorded a 3-1 victory over another strong side, which boosts confidence. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16} With minimal absences reported, they are near full strength.
- Paulo Victor Lima Silva — Brazilian forward who scored the earlier winner.
- Autemar Bispo — Another foreign option who has featured heavily. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}
- Patrick Mota — Club captain and midfield influence.
Player to Watch: Paulo Victor (No. – )
Watch out for Paulo Victor Lima Silva, whose strike separated the sides in their earlier meeting. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18} His ability to break defences and finish chances could again be decisive.
If Forca Kochi leave spaces at the back or fail to press effectively, Paulo Victor may exploit them via his movement and strength in the final third.
The Kombans will expect him to deliver once more as they try to make this match count.
