TEAMS PREVIEW

Jamshedpur FC Preview

Jamshedpur FC has made massive strides this season, rising from a disappointing 10th-place finish last year with just 21 points to a strong top-four contender with 38 points, 12 wins, and two games left to play. Credit goes to coach Khalid Jamil, who has transformed the team into a defensively solid, high-pressing unit.  However, the key factor in Jamshedpur FC’s success this season has been their dominance at home, turning their ground into a true fortress where opponents struggle to break through.

Last season, Jamshedpur FC managed just 12 home points, winning only twice—the third-lowest in the league. But this time, they’ve turned things around in style, boasting the second-best home record with eight wins in 11 games. Now, Wednesday night’s clash is about finishing their home campaign on a high.

Jamshedpur FC has already secured a playoff spot—it’s now all about positioning and their potential opponent. Currently, they sit level on points with Bengaluru FC, making the final games crucial in shaping their playoff journey.

Stats that matter

1. Jamshedpur has lost only two at home and the recent loss came in their last home match against NorthEast.
2. The Men of Steel have scored only 3% of their goals between 0-15, the lowest in the league during that period.
3. Javi Hernandez is Jamshedpur’s top scorer with 7 goals. 

Jamshedpur Probable XI - A Gomes (GK); Barla, P Chowdhary, Eze, M Uvais, S Das, Cirkovic, Irshad Khan, Hernandez, M Sanan, Siverio

Odisha FC Preview

Odisha FC’s playoff hopes took a major blow after a disappointing 0-0 draw at home against Mohammedan SC. In reality, they were fortunate to escape with a point, as Mohammedan dominated the chances. With better finishing from Franca or Alexis Gomez, the visitors could have easily walked away with a win. Nevertheless, their chances of making it to the playoffs is hanging by a thread. 

With just one game left, Odisha FC sits on 30 points, two behind NorthEast United and Mumbai City FC, who have matches in hand. Now, Lobera's side must win against Jamshedpur and hope for favors from Mumbai and NorthEast’s opponents to keep their playoff dreams alive.

Stats that matter

1. Odisha has recorded five red cards in their last 10 matches.
2. The Kalinga Warriors have managed to win only three of their last ten matches.
3. The Juggernauts have scored 27% of their goals in the period of 76-90.
4. Diego Mauricio is Odisha’s top scorer with 9 goals

Odisha Probable XI - Amrinder Singh (GK), Rahim Ali, Mourtada Fall, Delgado,  Lalrinzuala, Ahmed Jahouh, Khawlhring, Mawihmingthanga, Hugo Boumous,  Vanlalruatfela, Diego Mauricio

Odisha FC, desperate for a win, can draw confidence from their three-game winning streak against Jamshedpur, including last season's double.
