TEAMS PREVIEW

Jamshedpur FC Preview

The Men of Steel were involved in a thrilling contest last Saturday against reigning ISL champions Mohun Bagan. After a frustrating 1-1 draw with Sporting Club Delhi, Jamshedpur looked set for defeat when they fell behind as early as the 15th minute. 

But a dramatic stoppage-time combination between Messi Bouli and Ritwik Das rescued a crucial equaliser, extending their strong home run (W3 D1). 

That result keeps them level on points with Mohun Bagan and within touching distance of Mumbai City, with a chance to draw level at the top with a win on Thursday.

However, there is a concern over Lazar Cirkovic, who was forced off with a head injury in that match, leaving his availability for the upcoming clash uncertain.

Jamshedpur Probable XI -  Albino Gomes (GK);  Nikhil Barla, Stephen Eze, Pratik Chowdhary, Mark Zothanpuia, Pranoy Halder, Stojanovic, Rei Tachikawa, Mohammad Sanan,Vincy Barretto, Raphael Messi Bouli.  

Mumbai City FC Preview

Mumbai City’s latest outing may not have been dramatic, but it underlined their control and consistency. In a hard-fought 1-0 win over Odisha, the Islanders dominated proceedings, registering an xG of 2.24 while conceding just 0.54 and firing 19 shots. 

Despite their dominance, the breakthrough came only in the 73rd minute, with captain Lallianzuala Chhangte delivering the decisive strike—taking his tally to a team-high four goals this season.

The result ensured Mumbai remain the only unbeaten side in this ISL campaign, as they continue to hold firm at the top for a second straight matchweek.

Mumbai City Probable XI -  Phurba Lachenpa (GK); Valpuia, Nuno Reis, Bijay Chhetri, Akash Mishra, Joni Kauko, Noufal, Lallianzuala Chhangte, Jorge Ortiz, Bawitiung, Pereyra Diaz.
