Jamshedpur FC vs Hyderabad FC line-ups, team news, prediction and preview | Kalinga Super Cup 2025

Jamshedpur FC are eyeing a big win over the Nizams on Thursday.

Khalid Jamil’s Jamshedpur FC will lock horns against Hyderabad FC in the Round of 16 fixtures in the Kalinga Super Cup. After narrowly missing out on the 2025 Indian Super League (ISL) Final, the Red Miners will be keen to make the most of this tournament and secure a spot in the AFC Asian Champions League 2.

Hyderabad FC, on the other hand, will look forward to causing an upset in the first round by toppling Jamshedpur FC. With both sides keen to secure a spot in the quarterfinals, this match is set to be a thriller of an encounter.

The Stakes

Jamshedpur FC

Khalid Jamil will be keen to secure a place in the quarterfinals of the Kalinga Super Cup 2025. Jamshedpur would be wary of the threats posed by the Nizams. Coach Jamil will be tempted to test the depth of his squad, and a lot of young players are expected to make their appearance in the upcoming match.

However, Khalid Jamil will not take this match lightly as they faced a shocking defeat from the Nizams when these two sides last met during the ISL regular season. Jamshedpur’s attacking prowess will be looking forward to going all guns blazing to propel themselves into the quarterfinals.
