Jamshedpur FC Aim to Strengthen ISL Shield Push Against Hyderabad FC

Hyderabad, January 22: Jamshedpur FC will take on Hyderabad FC in an important Indian Super League (ISL) match at the GMC Balayogi Stadium on January 22 at 7:30 PM. With Jamshedpur sitting fourth in the league table with 28 points from 15 matches, a victory could edge them closer to the top two. Hyderabad FC, on the other hand, languishes at the bottom with just 10 points from 16 games and will be eager to salvage pride.

The Men of Steel head into the fixture buoyed by their 1-1 draw against table-toppers Mohun Bagan SG in their previous outing. Stephen Eze’s stunning solo goal in the second half secured a crucial point for Jamshedpur.

Head coach Khalid Jamil emphasized the importance of improving away form and maintaining focus. “We know we haven’t performed well in away matches so far. This time, we must take responsibility, stay positive, and give our best to achieve a positive result,” said Khalid Jamil.

Jamshedpur FC will look to continue their momentum, having taken 10 points from their last four matches. The team has shown excellent form, particularly in defense, with the duo of Lazar Cirkovic and Sourav Das bringing newfound stability to the midfield and backline. "The coach’s decision worked well, especially in the game against Mumbai. We are trying to build on that coordination and carry it into this game," said Lazar Cirkovic.

Hyderabad FC, meanwhile, has struggled this season, managing just two wins so far. Despite their position, Jamshedpur’s players remain wary of complacency. "It’s a tough game for us, and we are ready. Our target is to take points that will keep us near the top of the table," added Cirkovic.

Jamshedpur FC’s attacking unit, led by Javi Hernandez and Jordan Murray, will look to exploit Hyderabad’s leaky defense, which has conceded 34 goals this season. The team will also count on Albino Gomes, who has been a standout performer in goal, to maintain defensive solidity.

With a game in hand and the race for the top four heating up, Jamshedpur FC will be eager to secure three crucial points and maintain their upward trajectory. The match will be live on OTT Platform JioCinema and channel Sports18
