UditVani, Jamshedpur: Jamshedpur FC will look to bounce back when they take on NorthEast United FC at the JRD Tata Sports Complex on February 13.
Sitting in third place with 34 points from 19 matches, Jamshedpur aims to solidify their position in the top three, while NorthEast United, currently sixth with 29 points from 20 matches, will be eager to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Jamshedpur FC comes into this match after a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Bengaluru FC, where Edgar Méndez and Alberto Noguera found the net. Despite creating promising chances, Jamshedpur struggled to convert them. NorthEast United also suffered a setback in their last outing, falling 2-0 to Mumbai City FC in Guwahati.
The reverse fixture between these two sides was a forgettable one for Jamshedpur, as they endured a heavy 5-0 defeat to NorthEast United.
Reflecting on that loss, head coach Khalid Jamil emphasized the importance of learning from past mistakes and improving their approach. “The last time we played against NorthEast United, things didn’t go our way. It wasn’t our best performance, and we know we can do much better. This time, we need to work harder, stay focused, and approach the match with a positive mindset. Every game from here on is crucial, and we must give our best to get the three points,” said Jamil.
Jamshedpur FC has been a formidable force at home, and midfielder Javi Hernández believes that maintaining their strong form at the Furnace will be key. “We have been playing really well at home, and the results show that. But we also need to improve in away matches to be more consistent. Right now, we are in a good position on the table, but with five games left, every point matters. We have to take it one game at a time and give everything on the pitch. The goal is to finish as high as possible, and for that, we must fight for every ball, every moment in the game,” he stated.
With both teams eyeing a crucial win in the final stretch of the season, the match promises to be a high-intensity contest. Jamshedpur will be determined to make amends for their earlier defeat, while NorthEast United will look to capitalize on any weaknesses.
