Punjab vs Jamshedpur prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 28, 2025
One of the matches in the 19th round of the Indian Super League will take place on Tuesday in New Delhi, where local Punjab will host Jamshedpur. I suggest betting on goals in this match with good chances of success.
Match preview
Punjab finished last season of the Indian Super League in 8th place, missing out on the playoffs. Their gap from the top six teams was just three points. In 22 matches, Punjab registered six wins and 10 losses. In the current season, the club again finds itself in the middle of the standings, sitting in 9th place with 20 points.
The gap from Odisha, in 6th place, is only four points, and Punjab has two games in hand. However, the recent results do not suggest that the “Sher” will be able to challenge for the playoffs. The club has failed to win in the last six matches, losing four of them.
On the other hand, Jamshedpur has been more promising and currently sits in 4th place in the standings. In 17 matches, the team has drawn only once, securing nine wins and six losses. They are nine points behind the top spot.
In the last round, Jamshedpur played away against Hyderabad and lost 2:3. Before that, the "Red Miners" held the league leader Mohun Bagan to a 1:1 draw. Jamshedpur has won only two of their seven away matches, with five losses.
Probable lineups
- Punjab: Shabir, Singh, Novoselits, Suresh, Augustine, Shabong, Pradhan, Suhail, Mrzlak, Sulic, Maycen
