NorthEast United will host Jamshedpur in another thrilling IFL clash on January 2, 2020. The match will be played at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati. The match will kick off at 7:30 PM IST. NorthEast after a dismal performance in the tournament is desperate for a win. Jamshedpur, on the other hand, are sitting on the fourth position and will look to cement their spot for the semi-finals.
NorthEast are struggling in the IFL with just two wins in their last eight games. They are currently standing on the seventh place and are fighting to keep their campaign alive. They were comprehensively beaten in their last two games, with 3-0 and 2-0 losses against ATK and Bengaluru FC respectively.
NorthEast’s struggle in front of goal has been the main reason behind their defeats. They have just scored 8 goals in the league so far with a solitary goal from the last three games. The struggle is likely to continue in the next match as their striker Asamoah Gyan’s availability is doubtful against the Jamshedpur FC. NorthEast United will be eager to pull a victory against Jamshedpur and get those crucial three points.
Jamshedpur FC, on the other hand, has secured the fourth spot on the points table with three wins and total 13 points. The team struggled in the absence of the amazing Spanish striker Sergio Castel and faced a shocking defeat against Odisha. The team will look to bounce back against the dejected NorthEast. CK Vineeth, Farukh Choudhary and Sumeet Passi’s role will be crucial against NorthEast.
