ISL: Hyderabad, Jamshedpur fight for League Shield

Hyderabad FC take on Jamshedpur FC in the Indian Super League on Tuesday. Hyderabad are sitting pretty at the top of the table, having qualified for the semifinals for the first time with two games in hand and 35 points in their kitty. Jamshedpur need one point to seal their maiden semifinals spot, having played 17 matches and with 34 points.

While Hyderabad are assured of a last-four berth and Jamshedpur virtually sealing their place too, it will be more about the top position in the league table and winning the League Shield. Jamshedpur have a game in hand and Owen Coyle would want his wards to make the most of it. The big worry for Coyle would be the unavailability of Greg Stewart who picked up his fourth yellow card in the final moments of Jamshedpur's win over NorthEast United.

Stewart has been involved in 54.5% of his team's goals this season and will be sorely missed. The Scottish playmaker has been in fine form of late, netting five goals and providing two assists in the last four matches. Jamshedpur can only bow out if they lose all their remaining three games and Mumbai City FC lose against Kerala Blasters FC and win their final match of the season against Hyderabad.

Both teams will then end up on 34 points and Mumbai will go through on head-to-head count. "We are only thinking about facing Hyderabad FC. Like I have said before, we really need to focus on one game at a time because if you look too far ahead then you get punched in the nose in the sport of football.
