Javier Siverio: The 24-year-old Spanish forward is the next important player on the list. Despite just starting 6 games from the first minute, the young forward has played 20 games this season. Coming off from the bench usually at the hour’s mark, he has scored 6 goals this season and has registered an assist to his name. With a frequency of 1.5 shots per game, Siverio would be a major player for his side who would attack alongside Ogbeche.
Jorge Pereyra Diaz: The 31-year-old Argentine forward will be a crucial player for the Kerala Blasters by leading from the front. After having played 18 matches this season, he has registered 8 goals to his name. The dynamic forward also boasts of having a shot frequency of 1.9 and has a 68% chance of successful dribbles. Diaz with the help of Luna will be lethal for the Kerala side as they aim to wreak havoc on the opposition.
Sahal Abdul Samad: The young Indian midfielder is a gem of a player. The 24-year-old has already played 20 games for his side where he has registered 5 goals and a solitary assist. The complete midfielder is equally adept in his defensive roles too, as he forces 0.8 interceptions every game, as well as delivers 1.2 shots per game. The young workhorse broke the deadlock by dinking the ball over Jamshedpur goalie TP Rehnesh to score the goal for his side on the first leg of the semis.
