Hyderabad FC and Jamshedpur FC have been two of the most consistent sides in the Indian Super League (ISL) this season. When the two sides meet tonight, the target will be beyond just three points. It will be to beat each other to the League Winners' shield -- something neither side has won before, ever.
Manuel Marquez's side comes into the match with four wins in its last four matches, including a spell of three consecutive wins -- something it will look to stretch to four in this fixture. Bartholomew Ogbeche, who has been in tremendous form, sits on top in the Golden Boot Race and will aim for more goals to further increase his goal tally.
Jamshedpur FC, on the other hand, has been very solid defensively, conceeding the second least number of goals (20), with captain Peter Hartley fortifying the back. The team's lynchpin, Greg Stewart, however, is out of the match with a suspension and Jitendra Singh is also out, as confirmed by the head coach.
