Mumbai City FC vs Jamshedpur FC: Building up

A win can help Jamshedpur FC overtake the Islanders who are currently in the first place, while Mumbai City themselves will look to extend their lead at the top by three points.

Jamshedpur FC’s defence have been impressive so far – regardless they will have a tough task against Mumbai City, who have scored 12 goals in four outings. Both the teams have a good balance of domestic and foreign players which separates them from the rest of the lot. Another similarity between both sides is their style of play, in which the midfielders try to win balls and dictate play. Who will prevail – the young Indian midfield of Jamshedpur or the proven professionals of Mumbai – is something that we will find out on the pitch on Thursday evening.

After the loss to the Hyderabad FC, Mumbai City bounced back stronger and destroyed ATK Mohun Bagan, with a 5-1 victory followed by a dominating outing against Bengaluru FC. Against Jamshedpur, they will look to carry forward their scoring momentum from the last few matches and continue building as head coach Des Buckingham has asserted time and again. They managed to score thrice from their four shots on target in the last match, which shows their composure in front of goal.

Igor Angulo broke the deadlock against BFC and will be eyeing consecutive Golden Boots, having scored four goals in four games. Ygor Catatau has already scored twice this season, despite coming off the bench. Lalengmawia and Ahmed Jahouh are bossing the midfield and have worked as a seamless unit. Rahul Bheke and Mourtada Fall have been rock-solid at the heart of the defence and have to pull up their socks again to get the three points against an impressive Jamshedpur side.

The Men of Steel’s last game in ISL 2021-22 resulted in a 2-1 victory over ATK Mohun Bagan. Their defensive department looks impressive with Eli Sabia and Peter Hartley pairing up well against the famous attackers of ATKMB. The team functioned skillfully and showed discipline to take home the full points from the match. Unlike previous seasons where they depended largely on Nerijus Valskis, Jamshedpur FC have six different goalscorers so far. Youngsters Ishan Pandita and Komal Thatal are yet to shine and will look to make an impact in the coming games.

Although the Men of Steel kept ATK Mohun Bagan at bay in their last game, they will have to level up their game against Mumbai City. Owen Coyle is tactically sound and will be shaping his team up in order to win against the Islanders.
