Mumbai City FC vs Jamshedpur FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Mumbai City get back to action after their semi-final exit in the Kalinga Cup at the hands of Odisha. They are up against Jamshedpur who are keen to get a consistent run going in the Indian Super League. Apart from a big win over strugglers Hyderabad, it has not been an easy season for Khalid Jamil and his team. A visit to the Mumbai Football Arena is expected to be a difficult encounter for Jamshedpur, who are languishing only a few points away from Hyderabad.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Mumbai City FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful

• The club are unbeaten at home in the league matches

• Mumbai City have not suffered a home defeat to Jamshedpur since 2018

Reasons to be fearful

• Mumbai City are still reliant on only a handful of goals

• This fixture has not exactly produced a ton of goals for Mumbai City

Mumbai City get back to the ISL campaign with a home game against Jamshedpur. The team has done very well on home soil. After having almost made it to the finals of the Kalinga Cup, Mumbai City will be relatively confident about their recent form. 

Coach Petr Kratky will be concerned about some of the players being out of form. Pereyra Diaz is the top scorer for Mumbai City with six goals but he has not found the back of the net in his last five league matches.

Star man – Jorge Rolando Pereyra Diaz

Jorge Rolando Pereyra Diaz was able to get at the end of some half chances in the recent Kalinga Cup match against Odisha. He remains the top scorer for the team with 6 league goals. The 33-year-old remains on course to match his 11-goal tally from last season. Interestingly, the Argentine is looking for his first goal against Jamshedpur.

Jamshedpur FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful 

• Jamshedpur restarted the ISL season with a solid display

• The forward players worked well as a unit in the match against NorthEast United

Reasons to be fearful

• Jamshedpur have still managed only one win from the last five games

• The team has failed to hold onto a lead in back-to-back games

Jamshedpur failing to latch onto a lead for the second consecutive league match is a big blow for coach Khalid Jamil. Since his appointment towards the end of December, the team has witnessed decent form which almost got them to the finals of the Kalinga Cup before being beaten by eventual winners East Bengal. Jamshedpur have no injury concerns leading up to the match.

Star man – Daniel Chima Chukwu

Daniel Chima Chukwu was at the centre of everything good done by Jamshedpur in terms of the offensive play. The 32-year-old provided the assist for Imran Khan to score the opener in the 33rd minute. Chukwu could have gone on to get more goals if not for some poor luck.

MUMBAI CITY FC vs JAMSHEDPUR FC
Winning Prediction

Jamshedpur have not done great when it comes to away matches. A staggering five out of the seven away games for the team have ended in defeat in the 2023-24 ISL campaign. They go up against a Mumbai City team who are unbeaten at home. Despite not being at their best, Mumbai City should have enough in the locker to be able to get past Jamshedpur.
