Jamshedpur FC will look to make an entry into the top-four with a win when they host FC Goa in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Wednesday, at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco, Goa.
The Red Miners have been a disciplined side so far. Owen Coyle's tactics have worked brilliantly for the fifth-placed Jamshedpur FC this season. They began their ISL 2020-21 campaign on a shoddy note with a 2-1 loss to Chennaiyin FC.
Since then, the Tata Steel-owned side has not lost a single fixture. They drew their games with Odisha FC, Hyderabad FC, SC East Bengal, and Mumbai City FC. The only wins were registered against ATK Mohun Bagan and NorthEast United FC.
The Gaurs came into the tournament with a lot of promise, but are yet to find a settled first team line-up. Juan Ferrando has struggled to get the best out of his side. Players have played out of their natural positions, thus not allowing the team to reach the necessary fluidity on the ball. FC Goa have won just 2 games, drawn 2 and lost 3 games so far, including their last two fixtures.
