Our Analysis: Form of Both Teams
FC Goa did well to finish 3rd in the league last season, a significant improvement on their prior two finishes of 7th and 9th.
Buoyant after their successful defence of the Bhausaheb Bandodkar Memorial Trophy, Goa will be entering the new season in good spirits. En route to the final of the tournament, the Gaurs registered impressive wins over A-League side Brisbane Roar and Argentina’s CSD Defensa y Justicia.
Goa head coach Manolo Marquez will be performing double-duty this season, after the Spaniard was announced as the new head coach of the Indian national team following Igor Stimac’s dismissal.
Jamshedpur, on the other hand, didn't have any reason to celebrate during the preseason but nevertheless, it allowed Khalid Jamil and his squad to get one step closer to being match-ready. Jamshedpur participated in the 133rd Durand Cup, where they were eliminated from the group stage.
Jamil, who is the first and till date, only Indian head coach in the ISL, has forged a reputation for turning underdogs into contenders. Having previously worked his magic at Aizawl FC, and NorthEast United, Jamil has solidified his reputation as one of the elite coaches in Indian football.
Jamshedpur fans will be hopeful that the 47-year-old can help them scale the heights they did during the 2021-22 season, when they finished top of the table during the league phase.
