Jamshedpur FC vs Bengaluru FC: Prediction, team news, preview, and more for the ISL 2022-23 match

Jamshedpur FC and Bengaluru FC, two teams trying to crawl out of the bottom half of the ISL 2022-23 standings, will square off at the JRD Tata Sports Complex in Jamshedpur on Wednesday, January 18.

Both sides have had a disastrous first half of the season, being eighth and 10th, respectively, but are hoping to climb up the standings with a late charge.

Jamshedpur FC are coming into the game on the back of a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over East Bengal FC. Despite the Red and Gold Brigade taking an early lead, the Red Miners came roaring back in the second half through goals from Harry Sawyer and Ritwik Kumar Das. The victory put a stop to their 10-match winless streak.

Meanwhile, Bengaluru FC are on a recovery journey of their own. Putting an end to their inconsistent run of form, Simon Grayson's side have now managed to register two consecutive victories. Most importantly, they have seemingly recovered their lost vigor to fight for points.
