Jamshedpur FC will look to break into the top four with a superlative performance when they clash with Mumbai City FC in an Indian Super League fixture here on Friday.
The race for a semi-final spot has reached a critical stage and Jamshedpur FC know they have to stitch a winning run, starting with their clash against Mumbai.
The Men of Steel are currently fifth on the table (20 points) and are three points off the fourth spot.
With just four games left to play in the league, Jamshedpur FC cannot afford to drop points and lose ground in the race for the play-offs.
"In the last three matches, we lost 2-1 against ATK, had a draw against FC Goa and won against Delhi Dynamos. We have only conceded three goals in these games so I don't think the defence is an issue," said coach Cesar Ferrando, whose side has won only one of their last five matches.
"We should cut out those counter-attacks earlier, but I don't think you can blame the defence for that."
