JFC vs EBG Match Preview
Jamshedpur FC has been a transformed outfit since Khalid Jamil took charge this year. After a stunning run to the semi-finals, the Men of Steels made an unbeaten start to 2024 in the ISL to put them into the playoff race. They have collected as many victories in four league games this year as managed in the entire first period with two, the recent one against Punjab FC with a huge 4-0 scoreline. Jamshedpur FC are willing to keep on their progress under their ambitious coach with the top-six now in demand. Jamil will hope to extend their lead in the sixth taking on his former employers and playoff rivals East Bengal at home. The Red and Gold eliminated them from the Super Cup to eventually crown themselves champions so revenge will be on the cards as well.
East Bengal clinched their first victory in ISL in 2024 but only just as a young Hyderabad FC gave them the run for the money in the 1-0 result. Returning from suspension, Cleiton Silva’s 11th minute strike became the only goal of the match. The three points came after three matches but was important for the Super Cup winners as they reduced the gap with the top six to two points having games in hand. Carles Cuadrat’s side have to go through a tough schedule in a short span of time facing two playoff rivals Jamshedpur FC away and Chennaiyin FC at home. Difficult trips to table-toppers Odisha FC and a solid FC Goa team will follow before the second Kolkata derby in the league season next month. Nothing other than victories will ensure their top six berth now.
