Reasons for optimism include the team's unbeaten streak in four consecutive league matches and Jamshedpur's impressive goal-scoring record of seven goals in the last two away games. However, concerns arise as the club has managed only one clean sheet in the last four matches, and Jamshedpur has secured only one home victory this season.
Despite a significant win over Punjab propelling Jamshedpur into the top half of the table, apprehension looms ahead of the match against East Bengal, particularly due to the team's challenging home run with just one victory on home soil, and that lone win was against struggling Hyderabad. Despite recent notable away victories, expectations are high for the upcoming match. Jeremy Manzorro has emerged as a standout performer in the center of the park for Jamshedpur, tallying four goals for the campaign, including recent contributions against Punjab and Mumbai City. With Chima Chukwu finding the net only once in his last five appearances, the 31-year-old Frenchman is expected to deliver a strong performance in the upcoming game.

East Bengal FC Form
Reasons for optimism include East Bengal's recent impressive performances and their recent league win, the first since early December. However, concerns arise as the team has shown inconsistency in their performances over the full 90 minutes and has managed only one win in the six away matches.
East Bengal capitalized on an opportunity against a struggling team like Hyderabad, securing a crucial victory that places them on the brink of entering the top six positions by the end of the weekend. Despite facing challenges in stringing together consecutive victories, the club is only two points away from Jamshedpur. Coach Carles Cuadrat faces the upcoming game without José Antonio Pardo and Jordan Elsey, both sidelined due to injuries. Cleiton Silva has made a goal-scoring return, contributing to a vital away victory against Hyderabad. The 37-year-old, having a remarkable campaign, has now scored twice in the last three away matches for East Bengal.
