Punjab FC (PFC) and Jamshedpur FC (JFC) face off in the fourth fixture of Matchday 15 of ISL 23/24 on Thursday, February 15, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi.
Both these sides have done really well in 2024, exceeding everyone's expectations with their performances. Punjab FC have moved to ninth on the points table, and are currently on back-to-back wins. Their most recent victory was a dominant 3-1 away win against the Kerala Blasters, with Wilmar Gil netting a brace.
A win against Jamshedpur will take them into sixth place and into the playoff spots.
The same can be said about Jamshedpur, who are unbeaten since the resumption of the league. They enter this match on the back of a 1-1 draw with Bengaluru FC and a stellar 3-2 comeback win against Mumbai City FC. They too can move into the top half of the table if they win today.

Punjab FC vs Jamshedpur FC: Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
This should be an incredibly close game as both teams enter it with plenty of confidence and momentum. Under new head coach Khalid Jamil, Jamshedpur FC have been brilliant to watch, and they're also scoring way more goals than they used to.
Punjab FC are also having a similar effect, and we should see plenty of goals in this match if both teams' recent results are anything to go by.
Nikhil Prabhu from Punjab FC is the only must-have among the defenders since he plays out-of-position as a midfielder. There are plenty of powerful Jamshedpur FC midfielders, with Jeremy Manzorro and Imran Khan being chief among them. Meanwhile, Madih Talal is a powerful pick from that category for Punjab.
However, it's the in-form Wilmar Gil from Punjab FC and Daniel Chima Chukwu, who leads the line for Jamshedpur FC, who could haul the most.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: TP Rehenesh, Nikhil Prabhu, PC Laldinpuia, Khaiminthang Lhungdim, Imran Khan, Jeremy Manzorro, Rei Tachikawa, Madih Talal, Luka Majcen, Wilmar Gil, and Daniel Chima Chukwu.
Captain: Wilmar Gil. Vice-Captain: Daniel Chima Chukwu.
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Kiran Chemjong, Pratik Chaudhari, Nikhil Prabhu, Dimitrios Chatziisaias, Jeremy Manzorro, Imran Khan, Krishananda Singh, Madih Talal, Rei Tachikawa, Wilmar Gil, and Daniel Chima Chukwu.
Captain: Madih Talal. Vice-Captain: Jeremy Manzorro.
