Jamshedpur FC vs Mumbai City FC prediction, preview, team news and more ahead of the 2022-23 ISL contest
League leaders Mumbai City FC will visit the JRD Sports Complex to take on Jamshedpur FC in Matchweek 17 of the ISL 2022-23 on Friday, January 27.
Jamshedpur have struggled to keep up with last season's standards and are languishing at 10th place in the league table. Meanwhile, the visitors are cruising towards their second ISL shield having won 10 consecutive matches and remained unbeaten so far this season.
Aiyd Boothroyd's team seemed to have turned the tide with a draw and victory against Chennaiyin FC and East Bengal respectively. However, the Red Miners then suffered a huge 3-0 loss at the hands of Bengaluru FC in their previous outing.
Although qualifying for the playoffs looks unlikely, Jamshedpur will be hoping to put in a spirited display against the league's demolishers.
Mumbai City, meanwhile, have been by far the best team in the league this term. Des Buckingham has taken his side to the top of the table with 12 victories and three draws from 15 games.
Not only have they procured points, but their lethal attack and defensive stability have made it hard for their opponents to go toe-to-toe with the Islanders. They come into this match on the back of a 4-0 hammering of NorthEast United FC in their last match.
Jamshedpur were able to hold their opponents to a 1-1 draw earlier this season. Despite the spoils being shared in the reverse fixture, Mumbai City head into Friday's battle as clear favorites.
🗣️ "We're a very different team to what we were when we played them then."
@DesBuckingham expects @MumbaiCityFC to put on another good show as they face @JamshedpurFC away! 💪
