In the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 season, Chennaiyin FC will host Jamshedpur FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium on Thursday. This match marks the start of Matchweek 21, with only the sixth playoff spot remaining up for grabs. Chennaiyin FC enters the game following a 3-2 victory against Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG), while Jamshedpur FC drew 1-1 against Kerala Blasters FC in their previous match.
The Red Miners currently sit in seventh place in the table with 21 points from 20 games. Chennaiyin FC shares the same points (21) but has played one game fewer (19) than their opponents. Both teams have the opportunity to displace Bengaluru FC in the sixth spot with a potential victory in this match.
Chennaiyin FC has an impressive recent record against Jamshedpur FC, having won twice and drawn twice in their last four encounters.

On the other hand, Jamshedpur FC has struggled on the road in the current campaign. They have failed to score in their last five away matches, marking their longest goalless streak in a single ISL season.
“Jamshedpur FC is a dangerous team. I think they have some really, really good players, and I feel it’s justified to say that they should have won more points,” Chennaiyin FC head coach Owen Coyle said in the pre-match press conference as quoted by ISL.
“Chennaiyin FC is a really good side. It’s an important game for us and it’s important that we learn from our other matches too,” Jamshedpur FC head coach Khalid Jamil said before the game.
