Jamshedpur FC finish off their ISL commitments for the season, as they host FC Goa, on what could be a historic day for the Gaurs.
Clifford Miranda's side need only a point to confirm that they will finish atop the ISL league standings, and take with them the guaranteed spot in the group stages of next season's AFC Champions League - which would make them the first-ever Indian side to feature at that stage of Asia's premier club competition.
Jamshedpur are out of playoff contention, after a disappointing season under Antonio Iriondo, and remain the only side in the ISL to never have made the playoffs. They currently languish in 8th spot, having finished fifth in the last two seasons.

Jamshedpur FC v FC Goa: Team News
Tiri and Piti are ruled out, but Farukh Choudhary is back from suspension. He should come back into the starting XI and is expected to replace CK Vineeth. Amarjit Singh Kiyam should also start, after Mobashir Rahman was preferred over him in their last game against Hyderabad FC.
Caretaker boss Clifford Miranda hasn't really tinkered at all with the set-up that Sergio Lobera left behind. Hugo Boumous has stepped up brilliantly, in support of Coro, and the two have 22 goals between them this season, to go with 14 assists between Boumous and Brandon Fernandes this season.
