ISL 2024-25: Jamshedpur FC guns for league double over struggling Bengaluru FC
Jamshedpur FC will travel to take on Bengaluru FC at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 on Monday.
The Red Miners will look to complete a league double over the Blues for the second time (previously in 2020-21), after a 2-1 home victory in the reverse fixture earlier in the season.
Bengaluru FC is on a difficult patch of form, going winless in its six games – drawing once and losing five times.
Jamshedpur FC is placed third in the standings with 34 points from 18 matches. The Red Miners have a chance to leapfrog FC Goa (34) with a win here as it guns for a top-two spot.
Bengaluru FC is sixth in the table, having 28 points from 19 encounters. The Blues have failed to win in their last three home games, drawing once and losing twice, matching their worst-ever home form in ISL history (October-December 2023).
The Red Miners have won three away matches this season, with two of those victories coming in their last three away fixtures (L1). Their formidable form on the road could spell trouble for Bengaluru FC, who need a quick course correction to not fall behind in the pecking order for the playoffs.
Jamshedpur FC head coach Khalid Jamil reiterated on the importance of consistently getting positive results.
“Everybody is working hard. We are working well. We need to continue the work and get a positive result in this away match,” he said.
