FC Goa would look to extend their unbeaten away run to nine games when they face Jamshedpur FC here on Sunday, as the race for the top two spots intensifies in the ISL.
Jamshedpur are placed third in the table, since they have 31 points from 17 matches, courtesy of 10 victories and a solitary draw. They trail the top-placed Mohun Bagan Super Giant (40) by nine points, but the Mariners have also played an additional game as compared to Jamshedpur FC.
The Red Miners would target surpassing the second-placed FC Goa, who have 33 points from as many games as Jamshedpur FC. The Khalid Jamil-coached side have a chance to do a league double over the Gaurs, since they had defeated Manolo Marquez’s men 2-1 in their reverse fixture on September 17, 2024.
Jamshedpur are unbeaten in their last five games at the JRD Tata Sports Complex stadium, winning four times.
However, they have emerged victorious only once in the five times that they have hosted FC Goa at the venue, losing thrice and drawing once. They have failed to record a clean sheet in any of these matches, a fact that could inspire the FC Goa frontline, which has netted 32 times in 17 matches this season.
