Bengaluru are impatient to add to their goals scored at their own stadium in this upcoming match vs Jamshedpur.

Insights:
  • Bengaluru have the fewest matches over the total-line (1) in Indian Super League
  • Jamshedpur have the fewest scored goals in the second half (1) in Indian Super League

These teams have little in common geographically as Jamshedpur have to travel 2100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Bengaluru form and stats

Three Indian Super League home games done for Bengaluru, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches. When Bengaluru hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like NorthEast United, East Bengal and Bengaluru), they have won 1 of 2 matches! Bengaluru are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Sree Kanteerava Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.

Bengaluru lost their last game at Kerala Blasters (placed 5th) after a 2-3 scoreline. Chhetri, an attacker, was the champion performer for the team in that game, receiving a rating of 7.13 (out of 10). Chhetri scored one goal.

Preceding that match was a defeat to ATK Mohun Bagan (0-1).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Bengaluru have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 3 and lost 0.

The lack of attacking qualities in Bengaluru means that they have only scored {1 goals} in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match.

Jamshedpur form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the the worst goal difference (-6) away in Indian Super League, on their Indian Super League travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. With the Jamshedpur losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Jamshedpur aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 230 league minutes without a goal. Emmanuel-Thomas was the last player to find the net.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Jamshedpur, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus ATK Mohun Bagan (placed 3rd). It is a bit worrying for Jamshedpur that their goalie Yadav pulled off seven saves in the ATK Mohun Bagan match, but still could not stop a loss.

A loss against Kerala Blasters was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 9 similar matches played by Jamshedpur in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Jamshedpur, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

Goals are few and far between in Jamshedpur's away league games. Only {2 goals} from 4 travels.
