Indian Super League (ISL) team Jamshedpur FC is all set to take on Mumbai City FC at the Payyanad Stadium in Manjeri, Kerala for an AFC Champions League 2023-24 qualifying play-off match on Tuesday. The match is slated to begin at 8:30 PM IST.

The winner of this encounter between Jamshedpur and Mumbai City - the last two clubs to top the standings after the league stage of the previous two ISL seasons - will secure direct entry to the AFC Champions League 2023-24 group stage.

Mumbai City has previously played in the AFC Champions League after competing in the 2022 edition of the tournament.

The Islanders were just the second team from India to play in Asia’s top club tournament after FC Goa and they beat Iraqi outfit Air Force Club to become the first Indian club to win a group stage game in the competition. 

Mumbai City FC won twice against Air Force Club and even held UAE’s Al Jazira in the previous edition of the AFC Champions League. They eventually finished second in their group with seven points as they narrowly missed out on qualifying for the next round.

This time around, the Islanders head into the playoff match as holders of the ISL League WInners Shield 2022-23. They topped the league stage but were knocked out in the ISL semi-finals by eventual finalists Bengaluru FC in a penalty shootout.

Meanwhile, Jamshedpur head into this contest after finishing in the 10th spot in ISl 2022-23. They couldn’t beat Mumbai City FC in both their league games, drawing once and losing the other.

As far as the head-to-head between these sides go, Jamshedpur has a slight edge over Mumbai having won five of the 12 encounters between them. Mumbai has won four times, while three matches finished in a draw.

FC Goa will square off against Jamshedpur FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2022-23 fixture on November 3 at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa. The match will begin at 7:30 PM IST.

The Gaurs started their campaign with back-to-back victories over East Bengal FC and Chennaiyin FC by score lines of 2-1 and 2-0, respectively. 

A lacklustre performance in the last game saw FC Goa go down 1-0 against Hyderabad FC, which put brakes on their positive start.

The 2019-20 ISL League Winners Shield holders are currently placed fifth in the league table. They have accumulated six points as a result of the above-mentioned victories and will look to jump to the second spot with a win in the next clash.

On the other hand, Jamshedpur FC notched their first win of the season with a 1-0 win over Northeast United FC last time out. Centre-back Peter Hartley’s 31st-minute strike was enough to collect all three points.

However, they were winless in their first two games. They opened their campaign with a 3-2 defeat to Odisha FC before a 1-1 tie against Mumbai City FC. 

Jamshedpur FC find themselves sixth in the league table, two points behind their upcoming opponents.

FC Goa vs Jamshedpur FC head-to-head in Indian Super League

FC Goa and Jamshedpur FC have faced each other on 10 instances in ISL history, with Goa winning on five occasions and Jamshedpur emerging victorious four times. The stalemate in a league match of the 2018 season remains the only tied contest so far.

Jamshedpur FC have won each of the previous three encounters against FCG, which includes a victory in the Durand Cup earlier this year and two wins in last season’s ISL league phase, where the Men of Steel bagged the League Winners' Shield.

It’s all to play for Jamshedpur FC (JFC) in the second leg of the Indian Super League 2021-22 semi-final 1 against Kerala Blasters (KBFC). The two teams will go head-to-head for the final time this season at Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco da Gama on Tuesday, March 15. The match will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.

KBFC vs JFC Dream11 prediction

To everyone’s surprise, Jamshedpur FC succumbed to a surprising 1-0 defeat against Kerala Blasters in the first leg last week that ended a seven-game winning run in the ISL. Despite beating KBFC 3-0 earlier in the season, the Red Miners just couldn’t find a way to open the scoring and were confined to just six attempts on goal.

It’s all or nothing for both teams on Tuesday and based on performances this season, we expect Jamshedpur to turn things around in the second leg.

KBFC vs JFC Dream11 team tips for Indian Super League 2021-22

Top tip: Best forward

JFC frontman Greg Stewart was closely marked by the Kerala defence and one can expect the English forward to face a similar tactic on Tuesday. However, given his experience of playing in the Scottish Premiership, Stewart might as well find a way to play a big role and add more points to his already illustrious tally of 1,266 fantasy points.

Top tip: Best midfielder

KBFC’s Sahal Abdul Samad was on the scoresheet against Jamshedpur in the first leg and will pose a great threat on Tuesday too. The 24-year-old midfielder has been a glaring presence in the KBFC team this season, scoring six goals and one assist, resulting in a tally of 659 fantasy points.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

Selected by 86.25 per cent fantasy users, Jamshedpur FC captain Peter Hartley is an outright pick for a defender. The veteran centre-half has been excellent this season and is one of the many reasons why the Red Miners have qualified for the playoffs in the first place. He remains a strong recommendation for this contest.

Finally, for a goalkeeper, JFC’s TP Rehnesh could prove to be a coupe instead of his competitor Prabhsukhan Singh given the former is more likely to keep a clean sheet.

KBFC vs JFC probable playing XI

KBFC playing XI (probable): Prabhsukhan Singh Gill (goalkeeper), Ruivah Hormipam, Sandeep Singh, Sanjeev Stalin, Marko Leskovic, Lalthathanga Khawlhring, Ayush Adhikari, Sahal Samad, Adrian Luna (captain), Jorge Ortiz, Alvaro Vazquez

JFC playing XI (probable): TP Rehenesh (goalkeeper); Laldinliana Renthlei, Eli Sabia, Peter Hartley (captain), Ricky Lallawmawma; Jitendra Singh, Pronay Halder; Ritwik Das, Greg Stewart, Seiminlen Doungel; Daniel Chukwu

Newly crowned League Winners' Shield champions Jamshedpur FC (JFC) take on Kerala Blasters (KBFC) in the first leg of the Indian Super League 2021-22 semi-final at the Fatorda Stadium in Margao on Friday, March 11. The match will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.

JFC vs KBFC Dream11 prediction

The head to head record between Jamshedpur FC and Kerala Blasters is dominated by the former, who have won three of their 10 meetings in the ISL. Kerala Blasters, on the other hand, have only managed a solitary win while as many as six games have been drawn.

Come Friday, we expect Owen Coyle’s men to beat KBFC for the second time in three games, having already defeated them once this season. Interestingly, the last time these two sides met, in-form forward Greg Stewart scored twice from the penalty spot while Daniel Chima Chukwu capped off a 3-0 win for the Red Miners. 

JFC vs KBFC Dream11 team tips for Indian Super League 2021-22

Top tip: Best forward

With three goals in two games already this season against Kerala Blasters, JFC forward Greg Stewart has proved to be quite a menace for the Blasters. The former Dundee striker has been involved in 21 goals this season (G11, A10) - most by any player - making him one of the top fantasy picks for the upcoming contest.

Top tip: Best midfielder

After being dropped to the bench against FC Goa, KBFC’s Adrian Luna will return to the starting XI for the all-important semi-final first leg against Jamshedpur FC. The 29-year-old Uruguayan has accrued 930 fantasy points this season while making it to the Dream Team in eight of his last 10 outings. He’s scored five goals as well as provided seven assists this season and is a smart pick among midfielders.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

JFC captain Peter Hartley is an outright pick for a defender. The veteran center-back has tallied 528 fantasy points this season which is the most by any defender involved in this fixture. The fact that he has made it to the Dream Team in three of his last five outings should make him one of the first names in your fantasy teams.

Finally, for a keeper, JFC’s TP Rehenesh should be preferred ahead of KBFC’s Prabhsukhan Singh as the former is more likely to keep a clean sheet in the first leg.

JFC vs KBFC probable playing XI

JFC playing XI (probable): TP Rehenesh (goalkeeper); Laldinliana Renthlei, Eli Sabia, Peter Hartley (captain), Ricky Lallawmawma; Jitendra Singh, Pronay Halder; Ritwik Das, Greg Stewart, Seiminlen Doungel; Daniel Chukwu

KBFC playing XI (probable): Prabhsukhan Singh Gill (goalkeeper), Ruivah Hormipam, Sandeep Singh, Sanjeev Stalin, Marko Leskovic, Lalthathanga Khawlhring, Ayush Adhikari, Sahal Samad, Adrian Luna (captain), Jorge Ortiz, Alvaro Vazquez

The eighth edition of the Indian Super League is set to begin on November 19, 2021. 11 teams will compete in the country’s premier football competition, with the top four spots in the ISL points table a target for all the clubs with regards to AFC Champions League and AFC Cup playoff qualification.

This is because the qualification procedure of the ISL playoffs remains the same in ISL 2021-22.

How does the ISL points table work?

115 matches (110 league games + five playoffs) will be played over the course of the ISL campaign - all behind closed doors in Goa. The top four teams from the league stages will qualify for the ISL playoffs. 

The team that will finish at the top of the ISL points table will be awarded the ISL League Winners Shield and will also earn a place in the AFC Champions League group stage.

Each ISL team will play the other twice in a round-robin format, which means each club will play 20 matches in the league stages. Their results will dictate what they earn:

• Win: 3 points
• Draw: 1 point
• Loss: 0 points

The final position of a club in the standings will be determined by the points won during the league stage games. If two or more teams are level on points, the position in the standings will be decided by the following determining factors (in order):

• Most points earned between the clubs head-to-head in the league stage
• Superior goal difference between the clubs head-to-head in the league stage
• Most goals scored between the clubs head-to-head in the league stage
• Superior goal difference in all league matches
• Most goals scored in all league matches
• Highest fair play ranking
• Drawing of lots

FC Goa and Kerala Blasters played out an entertaining 4-4 draw in match 109 of Indian Super League 2021-22 at GMC Bambolim Stadium in Goa on Sunday, March 6. With this stalemate, the Blasters qualified for the playoffs by ending the league phase on fourth spot while Goa ended their disappointing campaign in ninth place in the standings.

ISL points table 2021-22

Position	Team	Played	Won	Drawn	Lost	GD	Points
1	Jamshedpur FC (Q)	19	12	4	3	20	40
2	Hyderabad FC (Q)	20	11	5	4	20	38
3	ATK Mohun Bagan (Q)	19	10	7	2	12	37
4	Kerala Blasters (Q)	20	9	7	4	10	34
5	Mumbai City FC	20	9	4	7	5	31
6	Bengaluru FC	20	8	5	7	5	29
7	Odisha FC	20	6	5	9	-12	23

The final league stage game of the Indian Super League 2021-22 season will see ATK Mohun Bagan (ATKMB) going head to head with league leaders Jamshedpur FC (JFC) at Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda, Goa on Monday, March 7. The match will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.

ATKMB vs JFC Dream11 prediction

Since merging with Mohun Bagan in 2020, ATKMB have played three ISL matches against Jamshedpur FC, losing two and winning one. Interestingly, the Red Miners have scored two goals in each of their last two meetings against the Mariners while winning on both occasions.

As far as the current season is concerned, the two teams have already qualified for the play-offs and even a win on Monday wouldn’t take ATKMB above the top-placed JFC. While they will be level on points, the latter will have the edge due to superior goal difference.

Hence, we expect this game to end in a draw.

ATKMB vs JFC Dream11 team tips for Indian Super League 2021-22

Top tip: Best forward

JFC frontman Greg Stewart is an outright pick for this position. The former Dundee striker has scored 10 goals coupled with as many assists, resulting in a total of 1,214 fantasy points. What makes Stewart a top pick for his contest is the fact that he has made it to the Dream Team in each of his last five outings.

Top tip: Best midfielder

In a team full of stars, a certain Joni Kauko of ATKMB has done a commendable job, to say the very least. The 31-year-old midfielder has accrued 650 fantasy points this season while making it to the Dream Team in five of his last seven outings. He might as well prove out to be the differential.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

Demoted to the bench against Odisha, JFC captain Peter Hartley will return to the starting XI on Monday, making him a must-have player for this contest. The veteran defender has been a phenomenal presence for this team this season, scoring three goals while accumulating 545 fantasy points. He remains a strong recommendation for this contest.

For the goalkeeper spot, ATKMB custodian Amrinder Singh would be our preferred choice since he has enjoyed a better run of form than Jamshedpur FC’s TP Rehenesh.

Table-toppers Jamshedpur FC (JFC) take on Odisha FC (OFC) in their penultimate league stage match of the Indian Super League 2021-22 season at the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim on Friday, March 4. The match will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.

JFC vs OFC Dream11 prediction

Jamshedpur FC are on quite a run this season. After initially struggling to get wins, the team is currently on a five-match unbeaten run, scoring at least three goals in all those outings, including victories over Hyderabad FC, Mumbai City FC and Kerala Blasters.

As for Odisha, they have already suffered a 0-4 loss against JFC earlier in the campaign and given the form they are in at the moment, the upcoming match seems to be heading towards a similar result.

To say Jamshedpur will start as favourites on Friday is an understatement as they have dominated Odisha FC even in the past, winning six of their nine meetings against the Kalinga Warriors while losing just once. 

JFC vs OFC Dream11 team tips for Indian Super League 2021-22

Top tip: Best forward

Scoring a goal in each of his last four outings, JFC’s Greg Stewart is an outright pick for a striker in your fantasy team. The 31-year-old former Rangers frontman, who has netted 10 times this season, has accrued a whopping 1,118 fantasy points so far and is likely to add more to his tally against Odisha on Friday.

Top tip: Best midfielder

In an otherwise underwhelming season, Odisha’s Javi Hernandez has been a breath of fresh air for the team. The 32-year-old Spaniard has tallied six goals along with five assists in 19 games this season, accumulating a total of 855 fantasy points. He is certain to play a big role in Odisha’s hopes of snatching a victory.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

JFC captain and goal-scoring defender Peter Hartley is a must-have player for this contest. The 33-year-old veteran has scored three goals this season, resulting in a return of 545 fantasy points. Given how brilliant he has been in defence as well, expect him to make it to the Dream Team on Friday.

For a keeper, JFC’s TP Rehenesh should be selected ahead of OFC’s Kamaljit Singh as the former is most likely to keep a clean sheet, which means more bonus points are in the offering.

JFC vs OFC probable playing XI

JFC playing XI (probable): TP Rehenesh (goalkeeper); Laldinliana Renthlei, Eli Sabia, Peter Hartley (captain), Ricky Lallawmawma; Mobashir Rahman, Pronay Halder; Ritwik Das, Greg Stewart, Seiminlen Doungel; Daniel Chukwu

OFC playing XI (probable): Kamaljit Singh (goalkeeper); Lalruatthara, Hector Ramirez (captain), Víctor Mongil, Sahil Panwar; Thoiba Singh Moirangthem, Isaac Vanmalsawma; Jerry Mawihmingthanga, Javi Hernández, Nanda Kumar, Jonathas de Jesus

The Indian Super League 2021-22 has almost reached its business end as teams look to secure ISL playoff qualification.

Hyderabad FC became the first team to book their place in the ISL 2021-22 playoffs after securing 35 points from 18 matches.

Apart from the Nizams, four other teams namely Jamshedpur FC, ATK Mohun Bagan, Mumbai City FC and Kerala Blasters FC are still in contention for the remaining three playoff spots.

Meanwhile, Bengaluru FC, Odisha FC, Chennaiyin FC, FC Goa, NorthEast United and SC East Bengal have been eliminated from the ISL 2021-22 top four race.

On that note, we take a look at the possible scenarios with which the remaining contenders for the top four in the ISL 2021-22 standings can still qualify for the playoffs.

How can Jamshedpur FC qualify for ISL 2021-22 playoffs?

Jamshedpur FC are currently placed second in the ISL 2021-22 standings with 34 points from 17 matches. The Red Miners need just one more point from their remaining three matches in order to secure their place in the ISL playoffs. Owen Coyle’s side will next face Hyderabad FC on March 1, followed by Odisha FC (March 4) and ATK Mohun Bagan (March 7). Needless to say, Jamshedpur are expected to get at least one point from the nine points still available to them as they eye their maiden ISL playoff appearance.

How can ATK Mohun Bagan qualify for ISL 2021-22 playoffs?

Just like Jamshedpur FC, last season’s finalist ATK Mohun Bagan also need just one point from their remaining two matches to book their place in the ISL 2021-22 semi-finals. After sacking former head coach Antonio Lopez Habas, the Mariners have had an impressive turnaround under new coach Juan Ferrando. With 34 points from 18 matches, ATK Mohun Bagan are currently placed third in the ISL standings and need to bag just a point from their remaining two matches against Chennaiyin FC (March 3) and Jamshedpur FC (March 7) to book a playoff berth.

How can Mumbai City FC qualify for ISL 2021-22 playoffs?

Defending champions Mumbai City FC have had an inconsistent ISL campaign this season. Under the tutelage of manager Des Buckingham, the Islanders have registered nine wins, four draws and suffered five defeats so far. Having notched 31 points from 18 matches, Mumbai City FC need another four points to seal their place in the ISL 2021-22 playoffs, meaning they can’t afford to lose anymore league stage games. The reigning champions are scheduled to face Kerala Blasters (March 2) and Hyderabad FC (March 5) in their last two league matches.

How can Kerala Blasters qualify for ISL 2021-22 playoffs?

While Kerala Blasters also remain in contention for ISL 2021-22 playoffs, the Blasters have a tough task at hand. They are currently placed fifth in the ISL standings with 30 points from 18 matches and need another five points to secure a playoff berth. Ivan Vukomanović’s side will next lock horns with Mumbai City FC on March 2, followed by their clash against FC Goa on March 6 and need to win both those matches to qualify for the ISL 2021-22 playoffs.
