ISL 2020-21: Jamshedpur FC vs ATK Mohun Bagan - Preview, Predicted Lineups and Channel

Preview

The last game of Matchday 4 in the Indian Super League (ISL) will see Jamshedpur FC play hosts to ATK Mohun Bagan. Owen Coyle’s Jamshedpur would be looking to stop their winless streak of 9 matches. They are currently 8th on the table with 2 points from three games. On the other hand, the Mariners come into the game with three wins in their previous three. They sit 2nd on the table, behind Mumbai City FC on goal difference but having played a match less.

Their home form will also be a cause for concern for Coyle. The Red Miners haven’t won any of their last four matches at home. The task will again be difficult tonight because Bagan haven’t conceded a single goal in their three matches so far. Even then, one would feel that Jamshedpur will have a go at the reigning champions after a couple of disappointing draws against Odisha FC and Hyderabad FC.

Squad Overview

This might be the match where both managers make a few changes to their side. Having both played three games in the last fortnight, a few new faces might be in the offing. For Jamshedpur, Nerijus Valskis seemed a little out of sorts in the match against Hyderabad. He never really got into the game and was constantly gesturing at his teammates whenever something wasn’t going his way. Owen Coyle has to ensure his talismanic striker is in the zone for this one though as his performance upfront will be vital.

Aniket Jadhav has impressed in the couple of cameos that he has made and might get a look-in in place of Mobashir Rahman. William Lalnunfela is also close to a start after coming on and getting an assist in the last match. Issac Vanmalsawma was kept on the match in the last game and is also in with a shout to start.

For Antonio Lopez Habas’ men, this match is another opportunity to consolidate their solid start to the campaign. With the defence working so well, you would not expect any changes in that department. Also, there are question marks regarding the availability of Edu Garcia and David Williams. Bradden Inman might get a start in midfield, as can Sk Sahil who came off the bench against Odisha. Jayesh Rane and Pronay Halder should also feature in some capacity. Additionally, Manvir Singh and Roy Krishna seem to complement each other well upfront so that is another positive going forward.
