Jamshedpur FC vs Chennaiyin FC, Indian Super League 2024-2025, Today Match Prediction

Jamshedpur FC vs Chennaiyin FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Monday’s fixture at the JRD Tata Sports Complex is guaranteed to produce a spectacle. In 14 fixtures, the first being in Feb 2018 and the last coming in December 2023, have produced 37 goals between both teams. The last time this fixture was staged at the same venue, the game ended 2-2, with Jamshedpur fortunate enough to restore parity in the dying minutes. 

The home team goes into this game after a shocking 5-0 defeat to NorthEast United at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Assam. The first goal was conceded as early as the 5th minute and to make matters worse, a player was sent off in the 29th minute. 

Keeper, Albino Gomes believes that with the right mindset and dogged determination his team can reset and rebound just as they did against East Bengal last month. The club has produced important wins starting with Goa, Mumbai, Bengal and eventually Hyderabad, and boast of a 100% record at home. 

Chennaiyin didn’t go well into festival mode as they narrowly lost 3-2 to a determined Punjab FC side at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on the eve of Diwali. The South Indian club couldn’t make amends because their second goal only came in the 99th minute of added time. Chennaiyin FC started their season in style, with a thrilling 3-2 win over Odisha FC, but then slipped to a 0-1 loss to Mohammedan Sporting. They followed that with a goalless draw against Hyderabad FC. 

Then came a win against NorthEast. Following that a draw against Goa. The Montenegrin Football coach, Bozidar Bandovic, will want to layer his squad with a bit of consistency, and this fixture just might be the time to drill that ideology in. 

Head-to-Head Record : Both teams have faced each other 14 times in the Indian Super League. The home side have triumphed on 3 occasions, while the visiting team won 6. The rest of the games (5) ended in draws. 

Current Standings : Jamshedpur currently find themselves in 4th spot on 12 points. Chennaiyin have won, drawn and lost an equal amount of games and therefore sit in 6th spot with 8 points. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Jamshedpur FC Preview

JRD Tata Complex well and truly is Jamshedpur’s fortress. It's almost as if they’re unbeatable there. The last time they tasted defeat there was on the 9th of April, 2024 against an FC Goa that scored a 95th minute winner to win the game 3-2. The home crowd of 20,000 in attendance will play a pivotal role in boosting team morale. 

In Jock Stein, Scottish manager’s words, ‘’Football is nothing without the fans.’’ The people of Steel city are very much built in that fashion. Jamshedpur FC remains dedicated to making football accessible to all, reinforcing its status as one of the most well-supported ISL clubs. 

Khalid Jamal’s men gifted NorthEast their biggest ever win in Indian Super League history. The Red miners had a player sent off early, but despite that the opposition got behind their defences with some smart running. So far, apart from that fixture, Khalid’s men have been prolific. The team is more than happy to sit back and allow the opposition to have the ball. The manager had crafted a well-disciplined team that closes channels and spaces and exploits the opposition on the counter. 

Imran Khan, Sanan and Doungel have been linking up well to feed talisman Jordan Murray and Javier Siverio in front of goal. In a pre-match press conference, Jamal played down any noise surrounding how good they’ve been. The club has a very good mix of Indian and foreign players that works just right. 

Injury list - Pronay Halder 

Jamshedpur Fc Probable Starting Lineup -  Gomes (GK), Mehta, Choudhari, Uvais, Cirkovic (DEF), Das, Khan, Hernandez, Tachikawa, Sanan (MID), Murray (FWD).

Chennaiyin FC Preview

Chennaiyin is dubbed as the ‘comeback kings’ for the right reason. In this season alone, they have secured 7 points from losing positions (Joint-most with Kerala Blasters FC). British manager Owen Coyle has a clear philosophy when it comes to the game. He likes to work with players who emanate a positive attitude and try to win games, as opposed to only having a results oriented outlook or outcome. 

When it comes to football, mindset is everything and that is what he tries to instil in his players. Before the Punjab FC game, the last time the Marina Machans lost an away game while leading at half-time was in 2016 against FC Goa. The visitors will want to tighten their defences as they travel to the City of Steel. 

Chennaiyin FC have landed a fox in the box in Wilmar Jordan Gil, as the striker is proving his worth with every passing game. The striker equalled his previous best streak of netting in three straight matches - a feature that he previously did in December 2022 and March 2024. Ryan Edwards, another standout performer will help tighten the team at the back. The Englishman has a duel success rate of 82.4% in the season so far. Edwards also sits atop the list of winning the most aerial duels (83.3%), for any player who has contested at least 10 of them. 

Injury list - Ankit Mukherjee is set to miss the game. 

Chennaiyin Probable Starting Lineup -  Mitra (GK), Renthlei, Edwards, Laldinpuia, Desai (DEF), Shields, Yadwad, Hnamte, Brambilla, Choudhary (MID), Gil (FWD).

JAMSHEDPUR FC vs CHENNAIYIN FC
Winning Prediction

Jamshedpur have scored in every home fixture this season. You would expect that to continue. In their previous 5 fixtures, the Red Miners have scored 8 goals. Meanwhile, Chennaiyin have been surrounded by goals themselves. The Marina Machans have been part of 15 goals in their last 5 games, home and away. Previous matches between these two sides averaged 2.79 goals. Gil will be eyeing a fourth consecutive goal for his side. But considering Jamshedpur are at home, you would expect them to keep up their stellar home performance.
