TEAMS PREVIEW

Mohammedan SC Preview

Mohammedan’s season of woes deepened as the Black Panthers suffered yet another one-sided defeat—their 13th of the campaign—adding to their growing frustration and killing their hopes of escaping an unwarranted last spot finish in their first season of the ISL. With just four games remaining and a seven-point gap to 12th-placed Hyderabad, Mohammedan’s chances of escaping the bottom spot are looking slim. The road ahead is tough, as they face off against 3rd-placed Jamshedpur and 2nd-placed Goa in their final matches.

Mohammedan has struggled at the back this season, conceding a staggering 37 goals. A glaring issue has been their vulnerability to opposition substitutes, with seven goals conceded to fresh legs—only Chennaiyin FC (8) has been worse. Against Jamshedpur FC, who are known for their bench depth, this weakness could prove fatal.

Stats that matter

1. Mohammedan SC are yet to register a win at home.
2. Two of their last matches at home have ended in defeats and have conceded 7 goals.
3. Only once Mohammedan SC scored more than once in a match this season in the ISL.
4. Mohammedan SC failed to score in 10 of their games in the league this season.
5. The Black Panthers have scored just 9 goals thus far with four of those shared between Fanai and Kasimov. 

Team News

Mohammedan’s Abdul Kadiri Mohammed has been dealt a devastating blow with a serious knee injury, tearing both his ACL and LCL. Other than that there are no injury concerns. 

Mohammedan SC Probable XI - P Chettri (GK); Zoherlina, Chhakchhuak, Ogier, Ralte, Kasimov, Alexis Gomez, Irshad, Singh Sagolsem, Fanai, Franca

Jamshedpur FC Preview

In a crucial battle for the top spots, Jamshedpur were edged out 2-0 by their direct rivals, leaving them just two points ahead of NorthEast United. With a game in hand, a win on Thursday night would push them five points clear, giving them some breathing room in the race to secure their spot.

However, the biggest talking point of the match was where the defeat had happened. It happened at the Furnace, their home ground, where they had only lost once all season. Despite the setback, they can't afford to dwell on it—three points against struggling Mohammedan SC are crucial if they want to keep their position secure.

Jamshedpur FC's defensive record in away games has been shaky, conceding 19 goals—matching their worst-ever record from the 2019-20 season. However, they’ll find some comfort in facing Mohammedan SC, the league’s lowest scorers with just 10 goals this season, offering a glimmer of hope for a clean sheet.

Stats that matter

1. Jamshedpur has lost three of their last five away games.
2. Jamshedpur FC are currently on a two match losing streak and have failed to score in each of them.
3. The Men of Steel have scored 27% of their goals between 76-90.
4. Javi Hernandez is Jamshedpur’s top scorer with 7 goals. 

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

MOHAMMEDAN SC vs JAMSHEDPUR FC
Winning Prediction

With both teams desperate for a win after a string of winless games, Jamshedpur enters as the favorites due to their solid overall season. However, their poor away record could be their Achilles' heel—if Mohammedan can tighten up defensively, an upset might be on the cards. The odds are tight, with Jamshedpur favored at 2.16, Mohammedan at 2.95, and a draw at 3.40. It's a close call, but based on their overall form, we're backing Jamshedpur to edge out a win in this crucial clash.
