Jamshedpur Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Jamshedpur Predicted Line-Up: Albino Gomes; Muhammed Uvais, Lazar Cirkovic, Pratik Chaudhari, Shubham Sarangi; Stephen Eze, Sourav Das; Ritwik Das, Javi Hernández, Imran Khan; Jordan Murray

After two consecutive losses, Jamshedpur are picking up their form once more, winning and drawing in their last two matches. With a point being shared from Saturday’s match, Jamshedpur have picked up only their second of the season, matching that with the 12 wins and eight losses in the 23 games they’ve played. Points wise and those results tally up to 38, sharing that tally with third placed Bengaluru but it is goal difference that keeps them climbing higher up the Indian Super League standings.

Attacking midfielder Javi Hernández has been the one to go to for the Men of Steel this campaign. Looking like smart business bringing in him in from Bengaluru at the start of the season as the free transfer has massively paid off. The Spaniard has been the top scorer for Jamshedpur with seven goals and he has partnered that with three assists. Hernández could be the one to make the difference this Wednesday to try and ensure that his current club surpasses his former on in the table.

Odisha Preview

Formation: 4-3-3

Odisha Predicted Line-Up: Amrinder Singh; Saviour Gama, Carlos Delgado, Moirangthem Thoiba, Rahim Ali; Lalthathanga Khawlhring, Raynier Fernandes, Rohit Kumar; Isak Vanlalruatfela, Diego Maurício, Rahul Kannoly Praveen

Odisha were unable to find the back of the net in their last game versus Mohammedan, ending in a goalless stalemate come the final whistle. That becomes it the second match in a row where they haven’t been able to score. The draw makes it their ninth of the season in addition to the seven wins and seven losses they have picked up in the 23 Indian Super League matches so far. Those results have left them with 30 points, currently having them reside in seventh place, one away from seeing Odisha enter the Championship playoff places. A win in this match against Jamshedpur with results across the table going their way would see them overtake Mumbai City and into those exclusive playoff spots.

The Kalinga Warriors have been fortunate enough to rely on Brazilian striker Diego Maurício for goals. He has racked up 15 goal involvements this season, split into nine goals and six assists. The 33 year old’s eye for goal could help them beat Jamshedpur this Wednesday and put them on the path to staying in the top six for a while.
