Bengaluru FC vs Jamshedpur FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Bengaluru and Jamshedpur have been two teams without a victory in the last 5+ matches of the ISL 2023-24 season. Both teams have struggled immensely at both ends of the pitch, but the problems are far bigger for Jamshedpur. Bengaluru have gone through three consecutive victories against this opponent but picking up a fourth win on the bounce can be quite tricky considering their recent struggles.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Bengaluru FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful

• Bengaluru have failed to score only twice in the recent five home games

• The team did not concede from open play in the recent match

Reasons to be fearful

• There have been two consecutive losses for Bengaluru

• The team has conceded 18 goals this season

Bengaluru are facing the possibility of a third consecutive defeat for the first time this season. The recent defeats against Mumbai City and Chennaiyin have put the team in a much worse position. The club have two matches left in 2023 with both of them being at home. 

Gerard Zaragoza, who had been an assistant during the 2018-19 campaign, has been installed as the new coach for the team. This change in management is likely to bring about a sizeable improvement in morale. After managing only one win from the first 10 matches, Bengaluru had to work something towards improving their form.

Star man – Sunil Chhetri

Sunil Chhetri has failed to score in three consecutive league matches. The 39-year-old remains the top scorer in the Bengaluru team after having managed three in his eight matches.

Jamshedpur FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful 

• Jamshedpur came up with two goals in the recent league match

• The team’s morale is up after coming back from 2-0 down against Chennaiyin

Reasons to be fearful

• There have been just six goals from Jamshedpur so far this season

• Jamshedpur’s last win against Bengaluru was in 2021

Jamshedpur have had less than a goal per game this season. The team has only managed six from the first nine matches. Incredibly, two of these goals came in the recent game against Chennaiyin. The much-improved performance from the team in the final third will be a big boost for coach Scott Cooper. The 53-year-old does not have to worry about any injury issues in the squad, unlike his counterpart.

A victory in this game could put Jamshedpur ahead of Bengaluru and East Bengal by the end of the weekend.

Star man – Daniel Chima Chukwu

Daniel Chima Chukwu has taken his league tally to 2 for the campaign after his late equaliser against Chennaiyin. After having hit five goals in 19 matches last season, the 32-year-old remains well on course to better their record from last season.

BENGALURU FC vs JAMSHEDPUR FC
Winning Prediction

Jamshedpur have every reason to be fearful coming into the game against Bengaluru, who have picked up three straight victories in this fixture. Bengaluru have lost consecutive matches without scoring a goal, but good times might return to the team after the change in management. Gerard Zaragoza may not make wholesale changes to the team but home advantage coupled with a change in management is likely to help Bengaluru get a victory in this game.
