Following an uninspiring game of football at the Kalinga stadium which ended up with a draw, the Mariners will be coming back at their backyard to take on a fierce-looking Jamshedpur FC. This is going to be one of those matches that will decide our fate for the coveted ISL Shield.
The great run of football of Antonio Lopez Habas comes to an end after a boring 90 minutes which creates a bump for the road of the ISL Shield. The last outing against a highly motivated Lobera side exposed our weak spots.
Amid boring football, the talking point remains the masterclass dropped by Captain, Subhasish Bose single-handedly saved us from a tough situation in the goal. The return of Anwar Ali boosted the confidence of the defence line and returned faith among the fans. Still, the team has a lot to improve in the forward line and the necessary changes on time were needed to salvage three points from the game.

Since the appointment of Indian Coach Khalid Jamil, the formidable Jamshedpur FC side has shown no sign of slowing down in terms of results. Khalid Jamil and his team are continuing to give upsets in the second half of this ISL season. Jamshedpur FC already defeated Mumbai City, East Bengal and a four-goal win against Punjab FC has shown how Khalid Jamil has turned around this team. The trust and the positivity of Khalid Jamil have brought him success before and bringing him now, a pressure mentality is putting pressure on other teams. With healthy squad rotation among the reserve bench and first XI has created a winning formula for this side. With key players like Sanan, Manzorro, Tachikawa, Imran and others, they can become lethal if they are given any free space. So underestimating this mid-table team will be a death for Habas and his boys.

The Mariners might miss Brendan Hamill for this home outing as he is in his final phase of recovery. Also, Sahal has some slight groin injury. Other than that, the return of the whole team will be quite reassuring for Habas as we have seen injuries stall this team earlier this season.

The last fixture among these two sides ended up a hard-fought win for Mohun Bagan which was quite tough to earn as the Jamshedpur are more fierce in their Furnace. But underestimating them here can be lethal for us.
