JFC vs OFC Match Preview
Jamshedpur FC failed to keep up their resistance against FC Goa and ultimately slipped in the 82nd minute when Victor Rodriguez scored the only goal to win it for the home side. The visitors suffered their third loss in the ISL on the spin keeping themselves in 10th position on the table with only five points gathered so far. It was another disappointing outing for the Men of Steels against a top-end side and the fixture only goes harder from here as they face fifth-placed Odisha FC at home. Although the Juggernauts have not triumphed in away games in the league this season, their impressive form on the continental stage will be a worry for Scott Cooper’s side. Jamshedpur FC will hope to take some motivation from their excellent performance in the unfortunate 3-2 defeat at the Furnace last time to turn things around. They also have a clear head-to-head record of this meeting which could come in handy.
Visitors Odisha FC have been on the brighter side of things as they have put themselves in a strong position to qualify for the knockouts of their debut AFC Cup campaign. Sergio Lobera’s men picked up a mammoth result in the last game beating Mohun Bagan Super Giant 5-2 at Salt Lake Stadium and thereby eliminating the hosts from contention. Now, the Kalinga Warriors only have to beat Bangladeshi champions Basundhara Kings at home in the final group game to earn the top spot and make it to the inter-zonal semi-finals. It will be a remarkable result for the side who languished at the bottom of the table suffering defeats in the first two games of the competition. Odisha FC will want to make the best preparation for the group decider next month with two ISL games before that. Starting with a trip to face Jamshedpur FC whom they beat 3-2 in the last visit and will want a repeat of their result to clear their away hoodoo in the league this season.
