Historically, Mumbai City has dominated this fixture with three wins compared to Jamshedpur’s one, and one match ending in a draw. However, past results don’t always predict future outcomes. Jamshedpur has the advantage of playing at home in the JRD Tata Sports Complex, and they’ll carry momentum from their opening-day victory.

Expect Over 2.5 Goals in the Match
Backing over 2.5 goals is another appealing option for this fixture, considering the attacking form of both teams. Jamshedpur’s season opener featured three goals, while Mumbai City’s draw with Mohun Bagan saw four goals. Both sides are capable of scoring multiple goals, and their defensive weaknesses further suggest a high-scoring affair. With players like Greg Stewart, Lallianzuala Chhangte, and Bipin Singh for Mumbai, and Siverio and Murray for Jamshedpur, expect plenty of attacking action.
