10th-placed Jamshedpur FC will invite 9th-placed East Bengal FC to JRD Sports Complex, Jamshedpur on Sunday, November 27.
Both clubs have just three victories between them so far this season and will be desperate to cross the victory line to kick off their season and qualify for the playoffs. The hosts are already eight points adrift of a playoff spot, while the visitors are six points away from the sixth-placed Kerala Blasters.
Aidy Boothroyd's Jamshedpur have lost their last three outings against FC Goa, Hyderabad FC and Chennaiyin FC. East Bengal FC, on the other hand, capitulated after securing a two-goal lead to lose 4-2 to Odisha FC in their previous game.
East Bengal FC hold the edge in this fixture, given their proficiency in front of the goal. Jamshedpur are capable of causing trouble to their opposition. It might prove to be an interesting matchup.
