Jamshedpur FC vs Chennaiyin FC Preview, predicted lineup, injury news, H2H, telecast details | Durand Cup 2024

Chennaiyin FC will look to make a comeback to keep their hopes of qualification alive.

High-flying hosts Jamshedpur FC are set to lock horns with Chennaiyin FC for their second Group D game of the 133rd edition of the coveted Durand Cup. This fixture could very well dictate the fate of the Marina Machans, who faced a shocking defeat in the first game against Indian Army FT.

The Men of Steel look to be one of the serious contenders for Durand Cup 2024. They defeated Assam Rifles by a comfortable margin & possess a strong, experienced squad when compared to the other teams in the group. Chennaiyin FC on the other hand have landed in Jamshedpur with a young squad, filled with promising youngsters with a few proven stars. 

The Stakes

Jamshedpur FC

Hosts Jamshedpur FC gave a fierce start to their campaign with an impressive three-goal win against Assam Rifles FT. A win here will help the Khalid Jamil coached side have a strong grip on the top spot, making them the strongest contender for a quarter-final spot from Group D.

The Men of Steel will look to seal their berth before facing the Indian Army in their next fixture. The Jharkhand-based club failed to satisfy their fans after finishing in the bottom half of the table for the last two seasons. An impressive beginning here will surely instill hope.

Chennaiyin FC

A young Chennaiyin FC squad suffered an early setback in the ongoing competition when they lost to Indian Army FT. The Noel Wilson managed side will look to bounce back with their energetic young guns.

The team majorly displayed a defensive approach in their first game and were not successful in penetrating the opponent’s back-line. The lethal forward line needs to prove their worth in this high-voltage clash.

Players to Watch

Mohammed Sanan (Jamshedpur FC)

The lethal 20-year-old forward has already displayed his class in the last game. He should be starting the game, especially after his classic brace against Assam Rifles FT.

Khalid Jamil and his Men of Steel will look to bank on his pace and finishing abilities for this high-voltage clash.

Alexander Romario Jesuraj (Chennaiyin FC)

The talented winger usually operates from the right. However, on Noel Wilson’s side, he is expected to cater as a wingback. Alexander Romario Jesuraj needs to stay alert for any possible threat from the opponents & also try to cater to the forward line to keep the club’s hope alive in the ongoing competition.
