Jamshedpur FC vs Hyderabad FC (JFC vs HYD) Match Preview
Jamshedpur FC’s excellent win in the first leg of the semi-final tie was not rewarded as eventual winners Mohun Bagan Super Giant made another trademark comeback in the return leg in front of their rousing support. Khalid Jamil’s men came close to making their first appearance in the ISL Cup final after finishing fifth in the league chart and defeating Northeast United against the odds in the quarterfinals. Yet, their performance was enough to win hearts and showed the club’s progress under the former I-League-winning coach. However, that was not all of the action for the campaign, as the Men of Steel now have the opportunity to shine again in the fifth Kalinga Super Cup held in Bhubaneshwar. The side will be determined to go further in the competition with a comparatively easier path to the semifinal. Jamshedpur FC will take on the league’s second-worst team, Hyderabad FC, in the opener and are set to face Northeast United or Mohammedan in the quarterfinals should they qualify. This will be their first meeting with the Nawabs outside the ISL, and they aim to make it an easy task, having won six times in this fixture compared to two victories for the opposition.
Jamshedpur FC have reached the quarterfinal or semifinal stage in every iteration of the competition, hoping to maintain the streak.
Though not on the positive end of things in this fixture, Hyderabad FC could take motivation from the victory the side registered in the last meeting with Jamshedpur FC, which ended a four-game losing streak against them. It was an excellent comeback from the 2022 ISL Cup winners, who were down 2-1 in the first half to win 3-2 with home support, one of only four victories managed in the entire league season. That result will be the glimmer of hope in the Super Cup clash for a side that suffered another miserable period on the pitch, even if the off-field issues have eased, with the club also opting to change its base to Delhi. Hyderabad FC only bettered the bottom side, Mohammedan SC and suffered 14 losses in the league season. Struggling with a five-game winless streak and three losses during this period, the team, now under an interim manager, is low on confidence as they approach the Super Cup. However, they provided a solid battle in the competition last time despite not getting any points, which they want to repeat to get a fruitful result in the 2025 edition.
