Durand Cup 2023: Mohammedan SC vs Jamshedpur FC - Build-up

If Mohammedan and Jamshedpur go into their final Group B game against each other knowing that NorthEast United have won their game against the Downtown Heroes earlier in the day in Guwahati, they would know that not only do they have to win, but have to win very big.

To make it as one of the two best second placed teams, both Mohammedan and Jamshedpur, provided they win on Sunday and log six points, will have to overturn Mohun Bagan Super Giant’s goal difference of plus six as it stands currently. Otherwise if the Highlanders win, they qualify along with the Kolkata giants.

A couple of teams in Group F in Kokrajhar can also finish on six points with one game still remaining for them. Those teams namely Odisha and Rajasthan also presently have a better goal difference than Mohammedan and Jamshedpur.

“Well, tomorrow’s game is very important. Jamshedpur FC is a very good team- is not going to be an easy game at all for both the teams. I think also the approach for this game is going to be the same from our side that we have had for all the games which is to go for a win with all the efforts. The dressing room atmosphere has been very good. The players have enjoyed the training. They know their job and now we are waiting for tomorrow’s kick-off and hoping for the best result possible,” is what former India international and Mohammedan coach Mehrajuddin Wadoo had to say in a pre-game chat.

Steven Dias, the Red Miners coach also shared his views saying, “After the last win team is positive and looking forward to the match against Mohammedan Sporting. Boys are working hard and learning from their mistakes and focusing on them in training. We hope to make our fans proud and happy.”

The best way on Sunday that both the teams can make their fans proud and happy will be to gift them with a string of goals.
