Jamshedpur FC

Jamshedpur FC suffered yet another setback after they were defeated by FC Goa in their last game. The fixture was electrifying with both teams aggressively looking to take advantage of the given opportunities, but FC Goa outplayed the 10-men Jamshedpur side to snatch away the victory with 3 goals in their bag whilst denying every opportunity produced by Jamshedpur. The night ended with Goa moving up to the 3rd position and Jamshedpur stepping down to the 7th position in the league table.

After the disheartening loss, Jamshedpur is now focused to get back to winning ways and bag a victory in every upcoming match, starting today as they play NorthEast United again. The race to the top 4 is still on and Owen Coyle and his men are eager to push past the losses and move forward. 

Previously, the Men of Steel have gone head-to-head with the Highlanders 7 times, with the last fixture being played in December 2020. The last time both teams shared the pitch, Jamshedpur dominated the 90 minutes with all the statistics leaning to their side. The game ended with a score of 1-0 at full time after a strong defensive showcase by the team and they (Jamshedpur FC) walked out victorious with 3 points in their bag.

Currently, both teams are positioned right next to each other; Jamshedpur is on the 7th position and NorthEast United is on the 8th position with just a point’s difference. The Highlanders too, did not have a great start to 2021 as they lost 2 games (against ATK Mohun Bagan & Hyderabad FC respectively) and drew 1 (with Bengaluru FC) in their last 3 matches. On the other hand, Jamshedpur FC with 2 losses in the second leg, will be aiming to score a win and continue their race to the playoffs.

Both teams with some talented signings like Benjamin Lambot, Idrissa Sylla, Luis Machado (NorthEast United) and Jackichand Singh, Stephen Eze, Peter Hartley, Nerijus Valskis (Jamshedpur), will be going toe-to-toe for the second time and aim to outperform the other to grab the 3 crucial points.

Without Alex Lima’s crucial presence in the midfield and given the 1 point difference between both teams in the points table, it’s safe to say that this will be a nail-biter of a match, keeping the fans glued to their screens.

The head-to-head record of both teams are as follows :

Jamshedpur FC                                NorthEast United FC

Matches - 7

 2           Wins            0
