ISL 2022-23: Jamshedpur FC vs Bengaluru FC head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know
Aiming to win their third match on the bounce, Bengaluru FC are all set to lock horns with Jamshedpur FC at the JRD Tata Sports Stadium on Wednesday, January 18.
The Red Miners are themselves back from an encouraging result. They defeated East Bengal FC by a 2-1 margin, with the new signings already making a positive impact with their performances. However, their playoff hopes seem distant, as they have only achieved nine points in 14 games.
Rafael Crivellaro’s addition has made a vast difference in attack, and their victory over the Red and Gold Brigade certainly indicated it. The likes of Ritwik Das, Daniel Chima Chukwu, and Ishan Pandita are benefitting from the Brazilian’s creativity.
Head coach Aidy Boothroyd will be pleased with his side’s improvement, but Bengaluru FC offer a different challenge.

The Blues have finally picked up momentum and look like a side who are ready to challenge for a place in the top six. Alan Costa’s last-minute winner against NorthEast United FC was followed by a convincing 3-1 victory over Odisha FC, further citing their push for a playoff berth.
Simon Grayson has stuck to a back-five formation, with the two wing-backs pushing higher up the pitch. This has provided stability at the back, whilst suiting the forwards. Additionally, Grayson will be delighted with Roy Krishna’s performance against the Juggernauts.
Bengaluru FC also have the chance to leapfrog Chennaiyin FC in the table, provided they get the three points. Moreover, they have the opportunity to close the deficit down to one point between themselves and sixth-placed FC Goa.
