Mohun Bagan FC vs. Jamshedpur FC Prediction: Both teams are unbeaten in last five

Mohun Bagan FC will go against Jamshedpur FC in Gameweek 17 of the Indian Super League at Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata. Both teams are unbeaten in the last five games in the tournament. Who will win? 

Under the guidance of Antonio Habas, Mohun Bagan has reemerged as a strong contender for the ISL Shield title, showcasing consistency and intensity under their new coach. The team is now back in the groove, approaching each game with determination and a winning mindset, putting pressure on their fellow title contenders.

Following a draw against Odisha FC, described by the coach as a 'fair result,' Mohun Bagan is eager to return to the path of victory. A win in the upcoming match can keep them in contention for the top spot, intensifying the pressure on competitors. On the contrary, a draw may boost the confidence of their rivals and widen the gap to the top, while a loss could significantly hinder their ISL Shield aspirations.

Jamshedpur FC, under the guidance of Khalid Jamil, sustained their top-6 ambitions with a dramatic late triumph against East Bengal, extending their impressive streak. Operating as a well-oiled machine under the new management, the Men of Steel consistently produce results, proving to be a formidable challenge for their adversaries.

Maintaining an undefeated record at the Salt Lake Stadium poses a formidable challenge for Jamshedpur, yet they have demonstrated unexpected strength in away games under Jamil's leadership. Securing a draw could be a reasonable outcome, helping them stay in contention for the playoffs, while a victory would propel them significantly closer to their top-6 goals. A defeat, aside from ending their unbeaten run, could embolden those trailing behind to overtake Jamshedpur, leaving them in a precarious position as they approach the final league matches.

In recent encounters, Jamshedpur has struggled when facing Mohun Bagan. The team has not secured a victory against this opponent since March 2022. Their upcoming match in Kolkata presents a significant opportunity to change this trend as they face a formidable title contender. Both teams boast unbeaten records in their last five matches, but Mohun Bagan exhibits a consistent and well-rounded performance. Jamshedpur, on the other hand, has often needed to stage comebacks from losing positions to secure points in recent matches, a vulnerability that may be exposed in this upcoming fixture.
