Jamshedpur FC will host Kerala Blasters FC in their second home game of the season at the JRD Tata Sports Complex. Jamshedpur won their first match of the Hero Indian Super League (Hero ISL) campaign against Mumbai City FC but have only been able to draw their following three matches. The team will look to get back to winning ways and collect all three points against Kerala on Monday.

A day before the match, Jamshedpur head coach Cesar Ferrando was available for his media duties. When questioned about his team's failure to clinch a victory in their previous three matches, Ferrando insisted that the results will come as long the team continues to work hard. "Look I want to win every match. I think all coaches will think the same. This league is a strong league, all the 18 matches are tough. When we are analysing the games and while practising, we keep trying to improve. The wins will surely come. We’ll have to wait for it, but we will try to win the next game," he said.

Ferrando also insisted that his team was unlucky to have dropped points against ATK and NorthEast United FC. "This is football. Sometimes you can play very well and win. Sometimes even if you play bad you can win. I’m happy with the team and I think they are playing very well. We should have won the two matches against ATK and NorthEast but it’s football. We were in a good position to win against them, but then it’s football and anything can happen. But that’s not an excuse and we are working for the matches ahead. We’ll get points if we win the matches and we are working on finding the right solution," he stated.

Asked about star signing Tim Cahill's lack of impact so far, the Jamshedpur head coach called for patience and said, "Cahill is fit and he’s playing. He has played three matches, he’ll take some time. He’s playing and he’s 70% fit, so he’s playing only that much. But he’s training very well, and I think he will be fit soon."

The Spaniard also shed light on his selection process and added, "The team practices and I choose the starting 11 based on the practice sessions, and how the team is working. We have 25 players in total and we have to select from them."
