Mohammedan SC will host Jamshedpur FC tomorrow at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan from 7:30 PM. While Jamshedpur is fighting for the second spot and a place in the playoffs, the Kolkata giants’ hopes for the playoffs have matches as their maiden Indian Super League season has not been smooth and positive, they sit at the bottom of the points table with 11 points from 20 matches.

In the reverse fixture, Jamshedpur FC won the match. The last two matches were disappointing for Khalid Jamil as his team lost both. The playoff battle is highly competitive, with all the top teams fighting for a spot. This makes the upcoming match crucial for Jamshedpur FC.

Mohammedan SC, meanwhile, are desperate to break their winless streak at home, having failed to secure a victory in their last 11 attempts. This season, they have managed only three draws while suffering seven defeats on their own turf.

Kasimov won’t be available for tomorrow’s match as his suspension is not yet over, but he will be eligible to return in the next game. Meanwhile, Samad Ali is still not match-fit. On a positive note, Rabi Hansda made his first appearance for the club in the previous game, so he might be available for tomorrow’s match for the Black and White Army.

Mohammedan SC have conceded seven goals to substitutes this season, second only to Chennaiyin FC (8). This could be a problem if Jamshedpur FC use their bench well. Jamshedpur FC have also struggled defensively, conceding 19 goals in away games—their worst record since 2019-20. However, they might find relief as Mohammedan SC have scored the fewest goals (10) this season.
