NorthEast United FC, who are currently one place above the bottom of the table, will lock horns with second-placed Jamshedpur FC in match no. 101 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2021-22. The two sides will clash at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda.
The previous meeting between the two sides ended in a 3-2 win for the Red Miners. The game had a dramatic ending after Deshorn Brown equalized in the 90th minute. Ishan Pandita then scored an injury-time winner to give his side the edge over the Highlanders.
This time around, the stakes are higher as Owen Coyle's men will look to edge closer to league-leaders Hyderabad FC with a game in hand.
