Namdhari vs Gokulam prediction 17.03.2025 | I-League

• Competition: I-League
• Date: Monday, 17th March, 2025
• Kickoff: 08:30 UK / 09:30 CET
• Venue: Namdhari Stadium (Ludhiana)

Last season, Namdhari finished 9th in the I-League but pretty far away from the danger zone. This season, they are looking even better, as they are in 5th place, only two points away from their next opponent, Gokulam. For them, securing promotion wasn't really the goal before the start of the season, and we can safely say they can be satisfied with how this season is going.

Since suffering relegation from the Indian top-flight division in the 2018/19 season, Gokulam have been among the best teams in the Indian I-League. However, they are constantly failing to return to the ISL league, and this season will most likely be no different. With just four rounds remaining, they sit in 4th place, six points away from the first-placed Churchill Brothers.

Namdhari vs Gokulam pick: Both teams to score

At the start of the season, Namdhari had some problems offensively but are doing much better lately. In the last ten games, they only failed to score against Real Kashmir away from home. So, we firmly believe they will score at home in this match as well, especially since Gokulam haven't been too great defensively and kept a clean sheet just once in the last seven matches - 14%.

Gokulam are in excellent form, winning three of the last four matches. Their offense has been on another level as they scored 14 goals - 3.5 per game! To be fair, they had a fairly easy schedule, but it was an impressive stretch regardless. Also, they have been excellent for this bet in recent road matches, as both teams scored in the last four games!

In three h2h games between these two teams, we saw both teams scoring on two occasions. Considering the trend in the previous h2h games and all the above, both teams to score bet seems like the best option for this I-League tie.
