Preview: Jamshedpur Vs Mohammedan SC
Jamshedpur: Jamshedpur FC‘s recent form have been a bitter disappointment, with their last three matches marking a drastic turn for the worse. After a strong start to the season, winning four out of five, their campaign hit a wall. The team, once seen as one of the strongest contenders for the ISL Shield, has now faced a significant downfall, conceding 13 goals in their last three games.
The Red Miners’ struggles began after a tough defeat to NorthEast United FC in Guwahati, which set the tone for further disappointment. Their home loss to Chennaiyin FC was a crushing blow, as they were hammered 5-1. This humiliation was followed by another defeat, this time a 3-0 loss to the reigning ISL Shield winners, Mohun Bagan SG, leaving the team searching for answers.
Now, with Khalid Jamil back at the helm, Jamshedpur FC will aim to turn their fortunes around. They will need to quickly regroup and find their rhythm as they prepare for their upcoming fixtures. The Red Miners’ supporters will be hoping for a strong response from the team, especially in a crucial phase of the season when every point matters.
Mohammedan SC: Mohammedan Sporting Club, the newly promoted side in the Indian Super League, currently find themselves struggling in the second-bottom position, just a point above their Kolkata rivals, East Bengal. With only one win and two draws from the eight matches played, their campaign have been challenging so far. Despite the tough start, the Black Panthers have shown moments of resilience and determination.
Their most recent encounter against Bengaluru FC was a near-miraculous performance. Mohammedan SC were on the brink of securing a memorable victory until a bizarre own goal in stoppage time dashed their hopes. This heart-wrenching moment meant that the team left Kolkata without a point, but their fighting spirit did not go unnoticed, especially in a season where every point counts.
Having already secured their first win against Chennaiyin FC and earned a valuable draw against East Bengal, Mohammedan FC will be eager to capitalize on Jamshedpur FC’s poor form. With the Red Miners reeling from a series of defeats, the Black Panthers will look to use this opportunity to cause an upset and leave their fans celebrating in what could be a turning point in their campaign.

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.
