TEAMS PREVIEW

Jamshedpur FC Preview

Jamshedpur FC enter this match under pressure and need a win to stay in the race for the knockout stage after losing their opener 0-2. Their recent form shows inconsistency, and they failed to score in the last game. Javi Siverio was their top scorer in the 2024-25 ISL season with six goals. During pre-season, they relied more on set pieces than open-play goals.

In team news, Serbian midfielder Nikola Stojanović joins as a new foreign recruit and is available to start. Forward Sanan and midfielder Sourav Das are both fit and ready for selection. Messias Bouli can also lead the attack after a strong pre-season.  

Jamshedpur FC (4-4-2): Albino Gomes (GK) – Lazar Cirkovic, Pratik Chaudhari, Nikhil Barla, Zothanpuia – Rei Tachikawa, Pronay Halder, Nikola Stojanovic, Vincy Barretto – Sanan, Messias Bouli. 

NorthEast United FC Preview

NorthEast United enter this crucial match with momentum from a 2-2 draw in their Super Cup opener. They have been in strong form recently, staying unbeaten in five matches leading up to the tournament and winning the Durand Cup earlier this season.

Their regular goalkeepers and defenders are available, ensuring defensive stability for the Highlanders. The squad has no major injury or unavailability concerns among its foreign or core Indian players. 

NorthEast United FC (4-2-3-1): Mirshad Michu (GK) – Asheer Akhtar, Miguel Zabaco, Tondonba Singh, Mohammed Ali – Mayakkannan Muthu, Konsam Singh – Jithin MS, Nestor Albiach, Redeem Tlang, Parthib Gogoi
