NEUFC vs JFC Match Preview
NorthEast United failed to add to the 12th-minute strike from Nestor Albiach in Kochi as Kerala Blasters managed to equalize the score in the second half. It finished 1-1 for back-to-back games for the Highlanders after also finishing with the same score against Punjab FC early this month. The point earned keeps them in the fifth spot in the ISL table after four games played. Dropping points while leading in the last two games is something coach Juan Pedro Benali will look into. But he will be satisfied with the start the team has made contrary to the last two seasons. Now, NorthEast are willing to get back to winning ways back at home after avoiding defeat in the first away games of the season. Parthib Gogoi, Konsam Falguni Singh and Asheer Akhtar scored for a resounding 3-0 victory against Chennaiyin FC last time in Guwahati and they will hope for something similar this time around. However, against a Jamshedpur FC team that has conceded just once so far and lost just once in this fixture, it will be a tough battle.
The Men of Steel kept their third clean sheet in four games when they drew goalless for the second time this season with Punjab FC in the last game. The defence remained sound conceding only once against Kerala Blasters but the lack of finishing remains a headache for Scott Cooper’s side. Both sides created chances to score with the better one falling to Jamshedpur FC. Especially when Daniel Chima came off the bench to create some opportunities for his teammate and got two chances to score the winner in the stoppage time. One of them, his header from close range, struck the upright. Getting their first win against Hyderabad FC but unable to produce a victory or scoring run will be frustrating for the Red Miners. The international break, they feel, came at the wrong time when they were starting to build some momentum. Jamshedpur FC will hope to secure their second victory in the second away match of the campaign having already won 2-0 in Guwahati last time out.
