Kerala Blasters reached the semifinals in the most dramatic fashion possible. They left the job till the last match in the group to make it to the ISL 2016 semifinals.

It has been incredible how fortunes can change in this tournament, and we might just be prepared for something special in the upcoming between the Kerala outfit and Delhi Dynamos.
Delhi Dynamos have lacked that sparked in the last group league match which has seen them going through to the semifinals much easily. However, that doesn’t mean that Delhi Dynamos have little chance of going through to the final of the ISL 2016. They have a formidable attacking line-up, and wISL ith Florent Malouda in the midfield, they pose areal threat to the defence of the home side. Also, Marcelinho possesses a greatthreat for the defence of Kerala as he has been instrumental in many of the goals scored by Delhi Dynamos.
Also, the thing that should be kept in mind is that Delhi Dynamos haven’t lost to Kerala Blasters in this season. They have kept their goal intact in both the matches while Kerala Blasters lost the away game 2-0. So Kerala Blasters need to work really hard in order get the better of the opponents in the ISL 2016 semifinal 2.
