KO – Thu 14 Jan @ 19:30 IST

On Thursday, Owen Coyle’s Jamshedpur FC take on FC Goa in what promises to be the best tie of the 12th round of matches in the Indian Super League (ISL). As the second half of the season begins in earnest, this mouthwatering clash could prove to be an indicator of how the playoffs race will shape up towards the end of the season.

Goa currently sits fourth place with 15 points and the nearest threat they face comes from Jamshedpur, who has 13 points. A result for the Men of Steel would blow the race for the top four wide open while a Goan victory would allow Ferrando to breathe more calmly. With such extreme possibilities, this match has all the potential to be a belter.

PREDICTION: Total goals scored will be under 4.5
