Team News:
Jamshedpur:
Owen Coyle will have everyone at his disposal for the game against Bengaluru FC. It will be exciting to see if he brings in some new players from the ranks, particularly the Indian youth prospects. However, one can also expect him to start veterans alongside newbies. A player to watch out will be side’s top scorer Nerijus Valskis.
Bengaluru:
Naushad Moosa will be handling his last game for the Blues with all players in ranks. The season for Bengaluru FC, has been underwhelming to say the least, and the fans will want to end it on a good note. One can expect Moosa to try some new experiments as well for the last game. Players to watch out for will be the skipper Sunil Chhetri and forward Cleiton Silva.

Analysis:
A clash of attacking powerhouses is always fun to watch in Indian Super League. While the Red Miners have expertise in building from back and burying their chances, the Blues are the best set-piece takers in the league this season. Expect midfield battle to be at its peak in the clash with defences having less role to play than forward line of the teams. One can expect contest to be an end to end one as ball transitions will have to be fast if one side wants to get an advantage over the other.
For fantasy team, it is recommended to have more attacking-minded players than defenders and have at least one defensive midfielder because the play-breaking in form of tackles and interceptions will boost points.
