Bengaluru FC have been inconsistent this season, winning three games, drawing three and losing one so far. They have struggled to build a winning momentum. Jamshedpur FC, meanwhile, will be looking for a third win of the season after being on the wrong side of several refereeing decisions. Jamshedpur is currently sixth on the points table, but can jump to fourth place if it manages to beat Bengaluru FC.
While acknowledging that Jamshedpur deserved more points, BFC coach Carles Cuadrat said he expects a tough match. “Jamshedpur is doing a very good job and they deserve to have more points on the table,” Cuadrat said. “We have to control Jamshedpur. Their foreigners are improving with each passing week, and their young Indian players are also doing well. Jamshedpur will be a tough opponent to face, but we have a plan and we will try to get all three points.”
Jamshedpur will be counting on Nerijus Valskis to cause trouble for the opposing defense, having scored six goals. The Lithuanian, however, has yet to score against the BFC. Owen Coyle, however, was optimistic about the game. It is a tough game for both teams. BFC are highly respected. They have a great coach and very good players. A very hard-working and organized team, “he said.” We are looking forward to playing against the best teams and the best players. We are capable of beating the best. But we have to do our best against a very good BFC team. “
