An important duel in the bottom section of the Indian Super League, with both NorthEast United and Jamshedpur experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 7th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Jamshedpur have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Jamshedpur form and stats
Jamshedpur have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Indian Super League, after 1-1-5 (7 played). Bitter travels for Jamshedpur as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Kerala Blasters match. Three has not been a lucky number for Jamshedpur as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Kerala Blasters match.
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 1-2 versus Mumbai City (placed 4th). Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Atletico de Kolkata.
It's a bit worrying for Jamshedpur that their goalkeeper Subrata Pal made seven saves in the Mumbai City game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss. Jamshedpur were so close to getting something from the game against Mumbai City, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime.
