ATK Mohun Bagan vs Jamshedpur FC, Indian Super League 2024-2025, Today Match Prediction

ATK Mohun Bagan vs Jamshedpur FC Match Prediction & Analysis

The Mariners took on Odisha Fc in what ended in a stalemate. Mohun Bagan had arrived in confidence courtesy to a well drilled unit, reflecting their low xGA (expected goals against) tally of 4.83, one of the best in the league. That will continue when Jamshedpur arrives at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata. Coach Molina in an interview said that he expects his side to go on and win the title again. 

Assistant Coach Steven Dias will be stepping in since Khalid Jamil is serving a suspension. The assistant manager acknowledged his opponents’ individual strengths but declared readiness in defence and attack. Stephen Eze who missed the previous game is back in the squad, which should boost the Men of Steel’s hopes. 

Head-to-Head Record : Both teams have played each other 8 times. Mohun Bagan has won 4. Jamshedpur have won 3 games. 1 of those has ended in a draw. 

Current Standings : Mohun Bagan are second on the table. They’ve amassed 14 points from 7 games. Jamshedpur are 7th with 12 points from 7 games. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

ATK Mohun Bagan Preview

Under Jose Molina, the Mariners have become a tough side to break down, with a proven ability to recover after going behind. This season, they’ve fallen behind on three occasions, turning one deficit into a win and another into a draw. Mohun Bagan have won  50% of the games in their last 10 ISL appearances. The Mariners have scored over 2.5 goals in 5 games. To be precise they have scored 2.10 goals per game in the last 10 games. 

In doing so, they have also conceded 9 goals. If the Mariners are to do what they did last season, they will have to push higher and push better, because other teams are equally adding quality to their teams, staff and systems. Jose Molina will have to rectify some areas considering the team from Kolkata still have more potential and are far from their best. The Mariners have scored 13 goals so far in 7 matches, the third highest for any team in the division. 

But an alarming number of those goals (8) have come from set-pieces. Greg Stewart and Dimitri Petratos have been producing some inviting deliveries to drive home. This tactic can easily be neutralised by opponents and therefore, the team must innovate and come up with more goal-scoring options. The men in stripes will want to tighten at the back. The team has at times also looked a bit conservative, not sending their full-backs forward. The good thing is the team does not lack creativity courtesy to Manvir Singh and Liston Colaco. 

Apuia was a livewire in the middle of the park for the Mariners against Odisha as he made five interceptions, seven tackles and a solitary clearance. The midfielder went on to complete 48 out of 55 attempted passes on the night. 

Injury list - Greg Stewart is ruled out. 

Mohun Bagan Probable Starting Lineup -  Kaith (GK) Rai, Aldred, Rodriguez, Bose (DEF) Singh, Ralte, Thapa, Colaco, Petratos (MID) Maclaren (FWD).

Jamshedpur FC Preview

Jamshedpur FC have enjoyed their best-ever start to an ISL season under Khalid Jamil, with four wins from their opening five games, including two thrilling comeback victories. However, successive heavy defeats in their next two fixtures have left the Men of Steel languishing, tied for seventh with five other teams on 12 points. The Men of Steel have won 40% of their games in their last 10 ISL appearances. Khalid’s men have scored 2.5 goals in 80% of the games in their last 10 outings. They’ve scored 15 goals and conceded 22. That equals to 1.5 goals per game in their last 10. 

Injured right-back Ashutosh Mehta has spoken highly of the effect that Indian pioneer Khalid Jamil has had in guiding his career to higher heights. Mehta recently joined the Men of Steel and featured in the 133rd Durand Cup, where he delivered performances that proved his purchase. 

He has a zeal and zest to defend in open spaces with pacy wingers, out wrestling them and closing spaces. Mehta also highlighted the team’s determination in chasing big honours after the International break. Jamshedpur are unique because they always emphasise on the quality of the team. A single player is recognised and appreciated but the team always comes first. Jamil brings unwavering commitment and a fighting spirit that has never been seen before to the game. Unfortunately Mehta is yet to feature for the Blue Tigers after making his debut against Oman in 2021 under Igor Stimac. But under Khalid’s leadership, it’s only a matter of time. 

Injury list - Pranoy Halder and Ashutosh Mehta are ruled out. 

Jamshedpur Probable Starting Lineup -  Sa (GK) Bueno, Gomes, Dawson (DEF) Semedo, Doyle, Gomes, Ait-Nouri, Sarabia, Cunha (MID) Strand Larsen (FWD).

ATK MOHUN BAGAN vs JAMSHEDPUR FC
Winning Prediction

Mohun Bagan are a force to be reckoned with at home. Their attacking prowess and relentless pressure can overwhelm any opponent. While they may need to improve their finishing, their overall dominance is undeniable. Jamshedpur, on the other hand, still has defensive vulnerabilities that Mohun Bagan can exploit. Given the home advantage and Mohun Bagan's superior form, we predict a victory for the Mariners.
