Fresh off their statement victory over Kerala Blasters, Punjab FC will be eager to continue the momentum against Jamshedpur FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi on Thursday.
Spearheaded by the dynamic trio of Wilmar Jordan Gil, Madih Talal, and Luka Majcen, the Shers have been flying high since the restart. While their victory over Bengaluru FC highlighted their resilience, the more recent triumph against Kerala was a testament to their growing confidence. With momentum firmly on their side, Punjab FC seeks to secure back-to-back home wins for the first time, buoyed by their ability to execute swift transitions and capitalize on counter-attacks.

Meanwhile, their head coach Staikos Vergetis too underlined the importance of the performance rather than the results. He averred in the pre-match press conference:
"I am satisfied not from the results, but with the fact that our players have executed the plans well in all phases of the game. If it happens in every game then in most of the games we will get positive results, which is why it is the most important thing for me."
Punjab's upcoming opponents have been on a recovery journey of their own. After Khalid Jamil took the reigns of the club, Jamshedpur have knitted together a string of notable performances in recent matches, including a victory over Mumbai City FC. Now, the Red Miners will aim to extend their three-game unbeaten streak and bolster their playoff aspirations.
