ISL: Jamshedpur FC, Bengaluru FC fight for playoffs spots
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|February 09, 2025
Both Jamshedpur FC and Bengaluru FC will aim to maintain their chances of retaining their positions in the top six when they meet in an Indian Super League (ISL) clash at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.
The Red Miners broke their six-game winless streak against Bengaluru FC with a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture and will now aim to complete a league double over the Blues for the second time (previously in 2020-21).
However, they have struggled to find their feet at the stadium, being unable to emerge victorious in their previous four clashes there. Bengaluru FC are undergoing a difficult patch of form presently. They have been winless in their last six games, drawing once and losing five times - including three defeats on the bounce entering this game.
In the standings, Jamshedpur FC are placed third with 34 points from 18 matches on the back of 11 victories and a solitary draw. They are involved in a close battle with FC Goa for the second place presently, who beat them to it after the Gaurs triumphed 2-1 over Odisha FC.
