Preview: Jamshedpur Vs Mohun Bagan

Jamshedpur: Nobody could have envisioned Jamshedpur FC sitting joint-second in the ISL points table with a game in hand after match week 15, especially considering their turbulent start to the season. Having suffered early setbacks with defeats to Northeast United FC, Chennaiyin FC, and Mohun Bagan, the Red Miners have staged a remarkable turnaround. Victories against Kerala Blasters, Bengaluru FC, and Mumbai City FC have not only revived their campaign but positioned them as serious contenders in the race for ISL glory.

At the Furnace, Jamshedpur FC have been nearly invincible, with their home fortress breached only once by Chennaiyin FC. As they prepare to host Mohun Bagan Super Giants in what promises to be a thrilling encounter, the stakes are higher than ever. A victory here would not only close the gap with the table-toppers but also reaffirm their intent to replicate the magic of their 2021-22 ISL Shield-winning season. The Red Miners will need a flawless performance, fueled by their newfound momentum, to overcome the might of Mohun Bagan and solidify their position among the league’s elite.

Mohun Bagan: Mohun Bagan Super Giant are inching closer to reclaiming the ISL Shield and asserting their dominance as the champions of India. With an impressive eight-point lead over second-placed Jamshedpur FC, their upcoming opponents, they stand as the team to beat this season.

The Mariners are riding high on confidence following a morale-boosting victory in the iconic Kolkata Derby against East Bengal. Adding to their recent triumphs, Jose Molina’s side holds fond memories of the JRD Tata Sports Complex, having defeated Punjab FC in the Durand Cup quarter-finals at the same venue.

The Mariners also showcased their superiority in their previous meeting with Jamshedpur FC, delivering a commanding 3-0 win at the Salt Lake Stadium. As they prepare to face Khalid Jamil’s resilient Red Miners, Jose Molina will aim to extend his side’s dominance and consolidate their position at the top of the table. On the other hand, Jamil will be plotting a counter-strategy to nullify the formidable threats posed by the table-toppers, making this clash a crucial test of tactics and resolve for both teams.

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.
