Jamshedpur FC vs FC Goa: Preview

Jamshedpur FC won their first game against Sudeva Delhi, but fell short in the very next game against Army Green. Therefore, this fixture is not only a must win for them, but they also have to hope Army Green drop points, as the qualification tiebreaker favors the Army side, who have a better head-to-head against the ISL side. On the other hand, FC Goa can afford to rotate their squad as they sit on top of the group and have already qualified for the knockouts.

In the press conference, Jamshedpur FC Coach Noel Wilson talked about the match and stated, “Goa is surely the strongest opposition this tournament and it makes it even more important for my players to get the experience as well as to know where they stand.”

He further added, “It is a unique opportunity for our young boys as at their age, not everyone gets a chance to play an ISL team. I hope the youngsters make the most of this opportunity and try to get a good result as well.”
