ISL 2021-22 Shield winners Jamshedpur FC will take on defending champions FC Goa at the Durand Cup 2022 to be held at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium in Kolkata on Friday, August 26.

FC Goa, on the other hand, lost their opening fixture 1-3 to Mohammedan Sporting before bouncing back with a 1-0 win over the Indian Air Force.

In terms of team news, both sides are known to have no injury concerns.

Speaking about the team's chances of qualifying for the knockouts, FC Goa head coach Deggie Cardozo said on Thursday:

"The way I see it, we know exactly what we need to do to qualify. We have been preparing accordingly and we hope to do well tomorrow. We did not get off to a fine start at the Salt Lake Stadium a few days ago, but we’re confident that it won’t happen again."

He went on to add that the players have had ample time to rest and that they are looking to grab all three points on offer:

"We’ve had a few days to prepare since our last match. The boys got ample time to recover and return to training. Our players are all fit and raring to go, and are aiming for nothing less than three points."
