Jamshedpur FC Preview

Jamshedpur FC head coach Owen Coyle will hope that his players recover from their loss against FC Goa. The Red Miners' unbeaten run of six matches came to an end when they lost 2-1 to FC Goa at the Tilak Maidan.

Stephen Eze opened the scoring for Jamshedpur FC but twin strikes from Goa's striker Igor Angulo saw them lose the advantage.

Nerijus Valskis has been their leading goalscorer this season but has been quiet in the last two matches.

Jackichand Singh, Aitor Monroy, and Alex Lima have been the creative midfielders for the Red Miners. The Indian youngsters, Aniket Jadhav and Isaac Vanmalsawma have impressed with their performances so far.

"They are willing to listen and learn, and when you have a group of players like that, then of course you can achieve good results." - Owen Coyle

Bengaluru FC and Jamshedpur FC have faced each other on six occasions in the last three seasons of the ISL.

The two teams are tied at two wins apiece in their head-to-head record. Two of the six matches have ended in drawn results. And the last encounter went the Blues' way.

Considering the current form of the two sides, we could be in for an exciting match at the Fatorda Stadium. The Blues have the advantage with a sturdier defensive setup and a plethora of attacking options, and should be expected to win.

Prediction: Bengaluru FC 2 - 1 Jamshedpur FC
