Jamshedpur vs NorthEast United FC Dream11 Preview
Sunday’s Indian Super League (ISL) 2020-21 double-header kicks off with a clash between two struggling sides, Jamshedpur FC and NorthEast United FC. The match will be held at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco Da Gama.
Jamshedpur FC come into this encounter on the back of two crushing losses against Kerala Blasters FC and FC Goa. They are placed in the seventh position whereas NorthEast United FC are one spot below on the overall ISL standings.
Jamshedpur FC have the slight edge going into this ISL clash with better defensive and attacking firepower in their squad. However, a new managerial change could be the boost that the Highlanders need to get back on track.
Coming off back-to-back defeats, Jamshedpur FC will look to get back to winning ways and revive their playoff hopes when they take on struggling NorthEast United FC in their Indian Super League match here on Sunday.
Jamsehdpur FC coach Owen Coyle doesn’t feel his side’s recent slump is down to inconsistency and believes they have the character to bounce back at the Tilak Maidan Stadium.
There’s not much separating the two sides at the moment with seventh-placed Jamshedpur being a point above NEUFC with 13 points from 11 games. But Jamshedpur will certainly fancy their chances against their opponents who are struggling for consistency.
The Highlanders are winless in their last seven games. To make matters worse, they parted ways with coach Gerard Nus who was replaced by Khalid Jamil on an interim basis.

Jamshedpur also boast of a unique record against their opponents, going unbeaten in seven games while winning twice. But that is no reason for Coyle to take his opponents lightly.
“Well, I don’t know if they are in good form or not. I think they played very well in the last game,” Coyle said.
“NorthEast are dangerous opponents and every opponent you face possesses different challenges. They might not be fluent in passing the ball but they have so many other qualities and that’s what we need to identify.
“We have to be respectful but also look to play our game and impose ourselves and get our good players on the ball.”

Jamshedpur (JFC) – IMP Players
- Stephen Eze, who is Nigerian defender player. He joins JFC to bolster the centre-back position. His potential to be “one of the best centre-backs in the ISL”.
- Amarjit Singh Kiyam, who is a midfielder, delivered some truly eye-catching performances for JFC last season. His ability to win the ball back and recycle possession.
- Peter Hartley, who is defender player. He is another new signing for JFC who is expected to form a formidable partnership with Eze at the back. He was instated as the captain of Jamshedpur FC by Coach Owen Coyle. He has played 418 matches in his career since his senior team debut in 2007, keeping 122 clean sheets and scoring 37 goals in the process.
- Nerijus Valskis, who is a forward player. He was the Golden Boot winner in the 2019-20 ISL league season. He linking up with Coyle again this season promises to be a nightmare for all the defences in the league. Last season, his score was 16 goals and also racked up 6 assists.
- Narender Gahlot, who is a youngest defender player. He was a mainstay in defence in the last ISL campaign for JFC. His presence will ensure that the Indian youngsters at the club continue to maintain their high levels performances.
NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) – IMP Players
- Subhashish Roy Choudhury, who is a goalkeeper. He was a key player of last season as he made a lot of saves to keep them alive in many games. He was mostly up to the task, barring a few fumbles.
- Luis Machado, who is a forward player. The Highlander faithful had a lot of hopes on the Portuguese winger, will add quality to the attack.
- Kwesi Appiah, who is a forward player. Bullied the Mumbai City defense right from the word go and also scored NorthEast United’s first goal of the season from the penalty spot.
- Idrissa Sylla, who is forward player. He was introduced into the game to kill time but he did show glimpses of his class with some brilliant touches and turns.
- Benjamin Lambot, who is a defender player. He showed his class today with his impeccable timing and interception. He was one of the main reasons why NorthEast United won the previous match of ISL-2020-21.

- Nerijus Valskis: 8 Goals
NorthEast United

Goal-Keeper
Despite his defence losing its way, TP Rehenesh has continued to be the saviour of his side’s backline with him dispelling everything sent down his way.
Defenders
For Jamshedpur, today’s match is just the fixture to regain their defensive touch. The club is up against a side which has scored just once in its last three encounters, a side Jamshedpur can easily spurn.
It sees us opt for Peter Hartley, Stephen Eze and Ricky from the side. Benjamin Lambot’s ability to keep attacking plays at bay sees him become the first pick from the opposition.
Midfielders
Although they have struggled for goals, the club can easily end up fulfilling insatiable appetite come today. With Jamshedpur’s house crumbling, Frederico Gallego who registered an assist the last time around will be quietly confident of adding to his numbers today.
Khassa Camara will be his partner for the day’s matchup owing to his ability to win challenges while Lalengmawia is his partner.
Aitor Monroy’s succulent showing the last time around makes him our pick from Jamshedpur.
Strikers
Jamshedpur’s top scorer, striker Nerijus Valskis netted twice for the club the last time around. Luis Machado lines up for us from the other side after his strike for the club in their foregone showdown.
ISL – Jamshedpur Vs NorthEast United (JFC Vs NEUFC): Captain And Vice-Captain
