ISL 2024-25: Jamshedpur FC vs Hyderabad FC – Build-up

Jamshedpur FC will look to continue their winning spree when they host Hyderabad FC at the JRD Tata Sports Complex, Jamshedpur on Monday (21st October) in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25.

The Men of Steel will look to continue their winning form after their recent win at home against East Bengal FC. The Nawabs, however, will be determined to get their first points of the campaign under HeadCoach Thangboi Singto

The Stakes

Jamshedpur FC

Under the guidance of Khalid Jamil, Jamshedpur FC has demonstrated impressive form at the beginning of the season. While they encountered challenges against Odisha FC, they bounced back to victory as they scored 2-0 against them.

Jamshedpur FC’s home ground, the Furnace, has always been a source of passion and support for the team. The home fans have always created a positive atmosphere that has fueled the team’s performances. A victory against the Yellow and black would be a significant boost for Jamshedpur FC, allowing them to continue their winning streak and solidify their position in the league standings.

Hyderabad FC

Hyderabad FC have faced a challenging start to the season, remaining winless with two losses and a goalless draw against Chennaiyin FC. Head coach Thangboi Singto, with his in-depth knowledge of the squad, especially the domestic players, will be determined to turn things around.

Facing a must-win situation, Thangboi Singto is expected to adopt an aggressive approach with the new foreign signings on board with the team. While a draw might not be the worst outcome given their current circumstances, a victory is crucial to boost the team’s morale and confidence.

Rei Tachikawa, the Japanese midfielder, has quickly become a valuable asset for Jamshedpur FC since he arrived in 2023. Tachikawa’s impact on Jamshedpur FC has been significant. In his 22 appearances for the team last season, he netted five crucial goals, demonstrating his ability to contribute in crucial moments

The Japanese midfield engine also scored a sensational goal against East Bengal FC in the last home game. His long-range strike in the 21st minute helped break the deadlock, for a crucial win in front of the home crowd at the Furnace. The midfielder is also renowned for his free-kick goal against Hyderabad FC last season.

Muhammad Rafi, a promising young defender, has been a valuable asset to Hyderabad FC. Alongside Captain Alex Saji, Rafi has formed a formidable defensive partnership, contributing significantly to the team’s defensive unit. The 23-year-old defender can seamlessly transition between the center-back (CB) and right-back (RB) positions, providing the team with flexibility and depth in the defensive backline.

In just three matches, Rafi has showcased his defensive skills, winning 5 aerial duels, 12 duels, and making 3 tackles. He also has 17 clearances, two very crucial blocks and two interceptions. His ability to dismantle opponents’ attacks and clear the ball has been crucial in preventing goals.
