TEAMS PREVIEW

NorthEast United FC Preview

Juan Pedro Benali expressed his frustration in the press conference but he still very much believes in his players to deliver results and make it into the top six this time around. Like last season defence has been a big issue and this time around as well they have dropped many crucial points. Overall in their squad, every player is fit and will be available for the match. This home game will be important as they have to get a good result somehow as the pressure is growing within the team. 

Key Player to Watch: (Nestor Albiach): The Spaniard single-handedly made things difficult for the Marina Machans in the last match. In the upcoming fixture as well he can do the same job for his team. He is someone who can make a difference on the pitch. Albiach is also a fan favourite and is a leader on the pitch. His partnership with the Moroccan Ajaraie is working really well for the Highlanders. 

Stats That Matter: The Highlanders have an average ball possession of 45.2%. They have taken the least amount of shots per game i.e. 10.8 and have won 5.0 corners per game. Till now they have scored nine goals, in which Ajaraie have scored four and Nestor have scored one. On the defensive side, they have made 18.6 clearances per game and 2.6 saves per game. They have won least number of tackles per game, i.e. 12 and 8.0 interceptions per game.  

NorthEast United Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1): G Singh (GK); T Singh, M Zabaco, A Akhtar, SD Singh (Defenders); Mayakkannan, H Regragui; A Ajaraie, N Albiach, Jithin MS (Midfielders); P Gogoi (Forward)

Jamshedpur FC Preview

The Red Miners are flying under Khalid Jamil as they are getting good results in their previous games. Last time under Owen Coyle they had this type of season in the bio bubble. Khalid Jamill is proving how good of a manager he is, despite his playing style he is able to help out his team to get results. 

When they travel to face the Highlanders they will have to be very resolute and disciplined at the back as the home team have got players who can hurt them. The Red Miners don’t have any injury issues and all players will be available for the match. 

Key Player to Watch: (Stephen Eze) - The Nigerian has been rock solid at the back for the men in steel. This is his second stint in the Indian Super League and he is probably one of the best defenders in the league for sure. With his height, he can win balls very easily and is always a threat in the set piece for the Red Miners. His partnership with Pratik is also working well for the team and his role and performance will be crucial to get a good result. 

Stats That Matter: Jamshedpur have an average ball possession of 35.8% in the league which is the least in the whole league which clearly describes the style of play under Khalid Jamill. They have taken 14.0 shots per game and 3.2 corners per game. They have scored ten goals till now, in which Jordan Murray scored three, Javi Hernandez scored two and Tachikawa scored two. On the defensive side, they have made the most number of clearances, i.e. 26.2 and most number of saves per game 4.6. They have made 17 tackles and 10.8 interceptions per game. 

Jamshedpur FC Starting Lineup (4-1-4-1): A Gomes (GK); M Uvais, S Eze, P Chaudhari, A Mehta (Defenders); S Das; M Sanan, R Tachikawa, J Hernandez, I Khan (Midfielders); J Murray (Forward)
