Preview: Punjab FC Vs Jamshedpur
Mohun Bagan: Mohun Bagan saw their winning run disrupted by Odisha FC in their previous game, where they had to play out an eventful 1-1 draw. Fortunately for them, the Mariners are now back where they are at their most comfortable in two upcoming home matches after the November break.
Jose Molina has to rejuvenate his players to find that cut-throat edge to their game going forward and get back to producing clinical and entertaining performances at home once again.
They’re facing a wounded Jamshedpur FC, but that doesn’t mean the Mariners should take them lightly as that can have major repercussions in even more dropped points.
Mohun Bagan will need to be ruthless in finishing off chances and have the utmost defensive concentration to get a big win. But if they play out another draw or suffer a home loss, their recently-gained momentum will come splashing down.
Jamshedpur: Jamshedpur are heading into this difficult game at the back of two back-to-back heavy defeats in their recent ISL games. Their surging start to the season has been halted as they’ve conceded 10 goals in the last two matches. The Men of Steel will be without head coach Khalid Jamil, who is suspended for this clash.
It’s now a case of the players motivating themselves and rediscovering that unrelenting spirit within their unit to ruin the Mariners’ party.
They’ll need to be absolutely undaunted and flawless defensively to keep this dangerous Mohun Bagan attack at bay. More importantly, they’ll also need to capitalize on their chances to get anything out of a game, knowing that even a point can be profitable. Another damning loss, however, will not only knock them out of the league shield race but put their long-term playoff hopes in jeopardy too.

About Indian Super League:
History
The Indian Super League (ISL) is the highest level of the men's Indian football league system. Administered by the AIFF and its commercial partner FSDL, the league is currently contested by 13 clubs.
The season runs from September to March and includes a 24-round regular season followed by playoffs involving the top six teams, culminating with the ISL Final to determine the ISL Cup winners. At the end of the regular season, the team with the most points is declared the ISL champions and presented with the League Winners' Shield. Until 2021–22 season, the ISL Cup winners were designated as champions but later from 2022–23 season, the champions design was given to table toppers instead of playoff champions.
Currently, the league only follows promotion in the promotion and registration processes. ISL clubs qualify for the Asian continental club competitions; League Shield winners qualify directly for the next season's AFC Champions League Two group stage.
The competition was founded on 21 October 2013 to grow the sport of football in India and increase its exposure in the country. Play began in October 2014 with eight teams. During its first three seasons, the competition operated without official recognition from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the governing body for the sport in Asia. It was structured along the same lines as the Indian Premier League, the country's premier Twenty20 franchise-based cricket competition. Each season lasted just three months, from October to December, and matches were held daily. However, before the 2017-18 season, the league expanded to ten teams, expanded its schedule to six months, and earned recognition from the AFC. Two of India's most historic clubs - Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, also joined the ISL. With ATK disbanding, the 2020–21 season had 11 clubs competing.
The ISL attained the sole top-tier league status from the 2022–23 season with the I-League demoted to the second tier. The 2023–24 season saw a promoted team from the I-League participating in the ISL for the first time ever. Punjab FC, as the 2022–23 I-League champions, became the 12th team in the league. The following year, Mohammedan SC joined the league as the 13th club as champions of the I-League.
Since the league's inaugural season, six clubs have won the ISL Cup title: ATK (3), Chennaiyin (2), Mumbai City (2), Bengaluru (1), Hyderabad (1) and Mohun Bagan (1).
Since the introduction of the League Winners' Shield in the 2019–20 season, Mumbai City has won it twice, while FC Goa, Jamshedpur FC and Mohun Bagan have won it one time each.
