Depending on their Colts haven't brought the most fruitful results for Jamshedpur FC so far. The Red Miners slumped to a 0-5 defeat against Mumbai City FC in their opening clash of Durand Cup 2023. But next, they'll have a bit more of an eased-out challenge in Indian Navy FT, who Jamshedpur FC will face at the Mohun Bagan Ground, Kolkata on Thursday.
Both Group B teams are yet to get off the mark and will be yearning for the first points in the tournament. Three points would be essential for either side to keep their realistic hopes of making it through to the playoffs alive.
Meanwhile, Indian Navy put up a sterner fight in their opener against Mohammedan SC, where they went down 2-1 after giving a great account of themselves. Hence, Red Miners' reserve team gaffer Steven Dias was wary of their Thursday's opponents and said ahead of the game:
