JFC are currently in the mix for the race to the shield and will settle for nothing less than all three points in this game.
This will make them a really tough side to face, says HFC Interim Coach Shameel Chembakath.
Speaking to the media ahead of this game, the coach said, “Jamshedpur are a very strong side, and we know that this will be a tough game for our team.”
“But we have assessed their strengths and weaknesses, have made some tactical tweaks and are definitely going to fight for all three points,” the coach added.
Hyderabad FC, on the other hand, have found some form in the last few games.
Having registered draws against East Bengal, Goa and Bengaluru FC, they will be confident of putting in a strong performance in this tie.
Stefan Sapic, Alex Saji who returns from a suspension, Manoj Mohammad and Abdul Rabeeh have been solid at the back in recent games, helping Arshdeep on goal.
Andrei Alba and Isaac Vanmalsawma have proven to be a formidable partnership in the middle.
Ramhlunchhunga, Devendra Murgaonkar, Allan Paulista and Joseph Sunny will all want to find the back of the net more regularly.
HFC will have to be at the top of their game to try and test a high-flying JFC side in this tie.
