Punjab FC vs Jamshedpur FC Match Prediction & Analysis

There was very little to separate a match between Punjab and Jamshedpur back in October with the two teams playing out a goalless draw. However, there is a lot of reason for both teams to be confident ahead of their upcoming meeting at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. Punjab could not be in a better state coming into the game and the club can potentially overtake Jamshedpur in the league table by the end of this match.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Punjab FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful

• Punjab have picked up back-to-back league wins for the first time this season

• The front three have been looking particularly impressive

Reasons to be fearful

• Punjab are still prone to plenty of defensive mistakes

• The team has conceded the opening goal in back-to-back matches

Punjab are starting to look up the league table for the first time this season. The club are up to 9th in the standings following the win over Kerala Blasters. The impressive successes over Bengaluru and Kerala Blasters have been achieved despite having conceded an early goal. Coach Staikos Vergetis will be keen on retaining the starting line-up as much as possible. There are no new injury concerns for the team ahead of this game.

Star man – Jordan Gill

Jordan Gill took his league tally to 3 goals for the campaign with a fine brace against Kerala Blasters. He was particularly difficult for Kerala Blasters, as his physical prowess and runs across the channel could not be handled. After having scored three goals in two games, he is in fine form with confidence flowing through his veins.

Jamshedpur FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful 

• Jamshedpur are unbeaten in three matches

• Jamshedpur have plenty of physical presence in the box

Reasons to be fearful

• The team has conceded the opening goal in back-to-back games

• The team has not kept a clean sheet in four consecutive ISL matches

Jamshedpur will be nervously looking over their shoulder to avoid being overtaken by the likes of Punjab. Despite having shown a lot of grit and steel in the last few matches, Jamshedpur have only one victory from the last three league matches since the return to action. Coach Khalid Jamil is likely to demand better defensive performances from his team, who have proven to be very good in troubling the opposition within the 18-yard box.

Star man – Chima Chukwu 

Chima Chukwu could not have much of an impact in the game against Bengaluru but the club’s top scorer will be a player to watch once again. His physical presence has been a big factor behind Jamshedpur pulling themselves from a losing position in back-to-back games.

PUNJAB FC vs JAMSHEDPUR FC
Winning Prediction

Jamshedpur have picked up some impressive away victories in the last few Indian Super League matches. However, repeating the same against Punjab might be difficult this time around. After having struggled with form throughout the campaign, Punjab have been playing very well over the last few games. The offensive players are at the top of their game and this will make things in favour of the home team.
