Struggling Jamshedpur will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Goa in the upcoming league round. It’s 8th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Jamshedpur and Goa.

It's quite the trip for Goa when visiting Jamshedpur as the cities are 2100 kilometers apart.

It could be a hat trick of victories away for Goa, as they have won on their previous two travels.

It's the second away game in a row for Goa, but there's smiles all around after the 5-0 victory versus Jamshedpur (placed 8th) in the Indian Super League last time out. Before that, Goa secured a home win against Mumbai City with the score 5-2.

As mentioned above, Goa was the only team on the pitch versus Jamshedpur in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
