NorthEast United FC vs Jamshedpur FC: Team News
NorthEast United FC
The Highlanders will be without the service of their regular first-choice keeper TP Rehenesh who is still under Interim Suspension after the AIFF disciplinary committee suspended him due to an off the ball incident where it emerged that the Kerala Born keeper had punched Gerson Viera in the face. With the disciplinary committee not giving out any jurisdiction on the matter yet, it looks like Rehenesh is set to miss this match too.
NorthEast United also have a few injuries concerns with the likes of Seityasen Singh, and Kivi Zhimomi out with long-term injuries. Keegan Perreira is also not fully fit after having picked up an injury in the first game against FC Goa.
Jamshedpur FC
Cesar Ferrando has no such issues with Suspensions and Injuries and will look to play the same set of players against NorthEast that took the field against ATK. But, Cesar has also been experimenting a bit here and there with his line up as Jamshedpur still haven't found the perfect combination yet.
The Core of the team would remain the same with the likes of Tiri, Memo, Cahil leading the way. Youngster Jerry has also been impressive this season and would have a significant role to play down the flanks.
NorthEast United FC vs Jamshedpur FC: Predicted lineups
NorthEast United (4-2-3-1): Pawan Kumar, Reagan Singh, Mislav Komorski, Mato Grgic, Robert Lalthlamuana, Joseph Leudo, Rowllin Borges, Nikhil Kadam, Redeem Tlang, Federico Gallego, Barth Ogbeche
Jamshedpur FC (4-2-3-1): Subhasis Roy Choudhury, Robin Gurung, Pratik Chaudhari, Tiri, Raju Yumnam, Memo, Mario Arques, Jerry Mawihmingthanga, Sergio Cidoncha Fernandez, Michael Soosairaj, Tim Cahill.

NorthEast United FC vs Jamshedpur FC: Key Players
NorthEast United FC
Bartholomew Ogbeche:- The Nigerian Hitman has been on song in the ISL and has become this season first player to score a hattrick. It was his heroics against Chennaiyin FC that gave NorthEast United the win, and he has been instrumental in The Highlanders form this season. His link-up Uruguayan midfielder Federico Gallego has been top notch, and the big man has been very lethal up front for NEUFC having already scored four goals from three games.
The ex PSG striker will look to keep his scoring streak going and seek to help NorthEast United reach their first ever playoffs this season.
Jamshedpur FC
Sergio Cidoncha Fernandez:- All the focus for Jamshedpur seems to be directed at Tim Cahill and that as in ways worked wonders for the Spanish attacking midfielder Sergio Cidoncha. The former Real Zaragoza man has already scored two goals for the Red Miners and has been crucial for the team in the middle of the park. His most significant ability is that he can play as a second striker alongside Cahill and that has given Cesar Ferrando's team more option inside the box.
Sergio is also a set piece specialist and has already scored a goal from a Free Kick against ATK. NorthEast will have to be very disciplined near the box, or else Sergio could punish them.
NorthEast United FC vs Jamshedpur FC: Prediction
The game will be a hard-fought game and could very well turn into a midfield tussle. Both the teams like to play an attacking brand of football use the wings to stretch the defence. With both managers playing a double defensive screen in front of their defenders expect the game to be a cagey affair.
Predicted Score: NorthEast United FC 1:1 Jamshedpur FC
