AFC Cup 2022: Gokulam Kerala FC vs Bashundhara Kings preview, where to watch in India, probable XI & prediction
I-League side, Gokulam Kerala FC will look to end their AFC Cup 2022 campaign in the best possible way and give them a chance of qualifying for the next stage when they face Bashundhara Kings on Tuesday, May 24 at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
Gokulam Kerala started their tournament in the best possible way when they thrashed fellow Indian side, ATK Mohun Bagan 4-2, but then suffered a shock 1-0 loss to Maziya last Saturday, in what was a big blow for the Kerala-based club.
Vincenzo Alberto Annese will be hoping for one last push by his side as they known that nothing than a win will suffice for them if they are to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the inter-zone playoff semi-finals as only one team from Group D will make it to the next round.
