Jamshedpur FC vs ATK Mohun Bagan Prediction: ATK has won two out of last six ISL games

Jamshedpur FC will welcome ATK Mohun Bagan in the 19th game week of the ISL at JRD Tata Sports Complex, Jamshedpur. Jamshedpur has had a troublesome season so far but has done well in recent games. ATK needs the win to keep their playoff place. Who will win?

Jamshedpur has not had the season they would have liked. They are second from the bottom in the ISL table with only three wins in 17 games. They are mathematically out of the playoffs race at the moment. They have however improved in recent games with two wins in the last four. The Miners are coming in the back of a win over North East United. They lost the game the last time these two sides met earlier in the season. They will be confident and will be looking to end the season on a high to build up for the next season.

ATK's hopes of ISL shield are down the drain and playoffs will be their short-term target. They are sitting in fifth place and have 27 points to their name. With pressure from the teams below in the table, they will have to get some wins under their belt to breathe safely. The Mariners have won two out of the last six games which have changed the mood in the camp. Ashique Kuruniyan is unavailable due to suspension for ATK. Jamshedpur looks like an easy opponent on paper but they have to end the league stage strongly.  

Vishal Kaith (GK); Asish Rai, Pritam Kotal, Brendan Hamill, Subhasish Bose; Glan Martins, Carl McHugh; Manvir Singh, Hugo Boumous, Liston Colaco, Dimitri Petratos

ATK's recent form has not been good but a good finish is required to solidify their position in playoff places. Expect a good game between these two sides who will be fighting for two different motives. We expect less than 2.5 goals in this game. Jamshedpur is to come out on top with better recent form or a draw is the most likely outcome
