Hyderabad, April 29 -- Real Kashmir FC will take on Gokulam Kerala FC in a relegation stage of the Indian Football League 2025-26 at the Deccan Arena in Hyderabad on Thursday.

Real Kashmir enter this contest with a clear psychological edge, having secured a 6-2 victory against Gokulam in their previous meeting, as per a release. That result underlined the Snow Leopards' ability to impose themselves both structurally and in attacking phases.

Momentum, too, favours the Kashmir-based side. They closed out the league stage with a 2-0 win against a swift Sreenidi Deccan, demonstrating defensive discipline and attacking efficiency. Gokulam, in contrast, endured a difficult finish, suffering a 2-5 defeat to table-toppers Diamond Harbour FC.
