Jamshedpur vs Goa Preview - Jamshedpur set for another draw?

Since losing the season opener 2-1 to Chennaiyin, Owen Coyle's Jamshedpur are unbeaten in six games. 

That includes a 1-0 win against NorthEast United in their latest match with Aniket Jadhav getting the only goal of the game. Goalkeeper Rehenesh TP was the hero after saving Idrissa Sylla's penalty.

Jamshedpur's other win came courtesy of a 2-1 victory over reigning champions ATK Mohun Bagan.

They have also drawn with Odisha, Hyderabad, East Bengal and Mumbai City this season during the six-game unbeaten run.

Goa have suffered a mixed bag of form this season with defeats in their last two matches following back-to-back victories in their previous two fixtures.

After two points from their opening three games, Juan Ferrando's side defeated two of the struggling sides. They got the better of Kerala Blasters 3-1 and followed that up with a 1-0 victory over Odisha.

But the hard was undone with successive losses for last year's ISL table toppers. They went down 1-0 to ATK Mohun Bagan before losing 2-1 to Chennaiyin in their last game.

Spanish winger Jorge Ortiz got a ninth minute equaliser for Goa on his return to the side. But Rahim Ali scored a winner for Chennaiyin immediately after the half-time break.

Goa have enjoyed facing Jamshedpur, winning five of the eight clashes between the sides in the Indian Super League. Jamshedpur have two wins to their name, while there has been one draw. Last season, it was a win each with Jamshedpur claiming a 1-0 victory away before being thumped 5-0 at home.

Jamshedpur's Nerijus Valskis has scored 6 goals in 7 matches this season and will be relied upon for goals once again. Spanish midfielder Aitor Monroy should return to the starting line-up after suspension.

Goa coach Juan Ferrando has operated a rotation policy all season and that should lead to a recall for Spanish defender Ivan Garrido. Six-goal Igor Angulo will lead the line once again, meaning centre-back James Donachie or midfielder Alberto Noguera could be rested in place of Garrido.

Jamshedpur are on a six-game unbeaten run, but have drawn four of them. Goa can end their two-game losing losing run with a share of the points at Tilak Maidan Stadium on Wednesday.
