Mumbai City take on their hosts Jamshedpur FC in an ISL clash on Thursday at the Furnace in Jamshedpur, as both sides look to carry on a recent run of good form, in their quest to finish in the top four in the ISL, as the season reaches its halfway mark.
Jamshedpur are on a run of three consecutive ISL draws since their fabulous win in Goa, and Antonio Iriondo knows his side needs to start picking up wins to not be left behind by the top 3, who have managed to grind wins out.
Jorge Costa's Mumbai City, meanwhile, will come into this game full of confidence after an amazing win in their last game at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium, when Rowllin Borges scored with almost the last kick of the game to give the Islanders a 3-2 win over the defending champions Bengaluru FC.

Jamshedpur FC v Mumbai City FC: Team News
Jamshedpur are expected to miss out on the services of their top-scorer Sergio Castel once again, but with Piti fit, the veteran Spaniard is expected to be the one to pull the strings and feed the likes of Farukh Choudhary and CK Vineeth, who broke his duck with a goal against Kerala Blasters last week.
For Mumbai, they have finally got most of their players back from injury, and are unlikely to make the changes.
