UditVani, Jamshedpur : Jamshedpur FC will take on Punjab FC in a vital Indian Super League (ISL) encounter at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi tomorrow , Tuesday.
With a game in hand and the opportunity to strengthen their playoff position, the Men of Steel are determined to bounce back after their narrow 3-2 loss to Hyderabad FC in their previous outing.
Currently in fourth place with 28 points from 16 matches, Jamshedpur FC have a chance to close the gap on the top three teams, all of whom have played 17 matches.
Meanwhile, Punjab FC, sitting in ninth place with 20 points, will be eager to disrupt Jamshedpur’s momentum and climb higher in the standings.
Head coach Khalid Jamil emphasised the importance of the match and the team’s focus. “Our priority and aim is tomorrow’s game. We need to prepare thoroughly and fight every minute with a strong performance, and we’re confident in our approach,” he said.
Goalkeeper Amrit Gope highlighted the team’s ability to move past setbacks. “We take things match by match, so while the loss was disappointing, we’ve moved on. There’s pressure, of course, but we’ve trained well and are feeling positive about the upcoming game,” Amrit added.
Jamshedpur FC’s attacking unit, led by the in-form Javi Hernandez and Jordan Murray, will look to exploit Punjab FC’s defensive vulnerabilities.
In addition, the team will rely on defensive stalwarts like Stephen Eze and Pratik Choudhary to maintain stability at the back. Pratik Choudhari will be back for Jamshedpur FC after serving suspension in the previous match against Hyderabad FC.
Punjab FC, despite their struggles this season, have the potential to cause an upset with their dynamic midfield and quick transitions.
Jamshedpur FC’s defence will need to remain vigilant to counter Punjab’s counter-attacking threats.
