Jamshedpur FC vs Odisha FC: Build-up

Two neighbouring states with very much cultural similarities and sharing borders will be against each other on October 11. The game between Jamshedpur FC and Odisha FC will mark their beginning to the ISL 2022-23 season.

It’ll be a homecoming for the Men of Steel among the fans after winning the League Shield. Meanwhile, Odisha FC will look to spoil the moment at the Furnace. Whosoever comes out at top in the end, the game will be a feast for the fans.

Jamshedpur FC will kick off their title defending season with this game. They would want to make a statement with a commanding win. The league has seen enough one season wonders and Aidy Boothroyd‘s boys have the job to build up on the work done by former coach Owen Coyle. The season is going to be a crucial one for the Reds to establish themselves among the big teams of the league.

The club has seen some important players shifting base. The list includes stalwart Greg Stewart and young prodigies Mobashir Rahman and Narender Gahlot. But the management have managed to retain the core of the team with some fine recruitments. So it’ll be a ground check for the team that looks more balanced on paper than last season.

With majestic Josep Gombau on board again, Odisha FC are hoping to change their fate in this edition of the ISL. Last season was below average for the Juggernauts and they failed to impress in the season prior to that as well.

Their inaugural 2019-20 season under Josep Gombau is still the best position they have attained in the league. It’s now time for them to make a statement to other teams and put up some real challenge for playoffs. Although they might not be favourites against Jamshedpur at the Furnace, the game is equally important for them as well.
