Worth noting SC Delhi haven’t actually played a Group C fixture yet, which is why they sit on zero points despite a place above Defenders FC. That makes this a genuine opener for them in the competition proper. FootballMint’s Durand Cup 2026 points table tracks how every group stands as results come in.

Nikola Stojanovic’s presence in that Jamshedpur midfield list is worth flagging on its own, given he’s the man who rescued a point against SC Delhi with a late equaliser the last time these two sides met in the ISL. For the wider tournament picture on who’s turning out where, FootballMint’s Durand Cup 2026 teams and squads guide has every club’s full list.
Jamshedpur FC and SC Delhi Recent Form Guide
The contrast in current form between these two sides is stark, and it’s worth breaking down properly.
Jamshedpur FC form:
- Have scored 11 goals across their last five matches in all competitions.
- Hold the most clean sheets of any side in the competition, with one so far.
- Opened their Durand Cup campaign with a 5-0 win over Defenders FC.
SC Delhi form:
- Have scored 4 goals across their last five matches in all competitions.
- Haven’t won in their last six matches in any competition.
- Yet to play their opening Group C fixture in this year’s Durand Cup.

That gap in recent scoring output alone tells you why Jamshedpur go into this as strong favourites. A defence that’s already kept a clean sheet in the group stage adds to a picture that looks tough for SC Delhi to break down.
Jamshedpur vs SC Delhi Head to Head Record
These two clubs have crossed paths more than a dozen times across ISL and Super Cup competition, and the record clearly favours the home side tonight.
| Record | Total |
|---|---|
| Jamshedpur FC wins | 7 |
| SC Delhi wins | 2 |
| Draws | 5 |

Their most recent meeting came in the ISL on March 19, when a late equaliser from Nikola Stojanović rescued a 1-1 draw for Jamshedpur. Before that, Jamshedpur beat SC Delhi 2-0 in last year’s Super Cup, and the two sides shared a 3-2 thriller back in February 2023. Across the full head to head, Jamshedpur have simply had the better of this fixture far more often than not.
Key Battle to Watch in This Durand Cup Fixture
Jamshedpur’s attacking output has been the story of their tournament so far, and that will be tested against an SC Delhi side that hasn’t conceded in either of their two most recent competitive outings before this campaign, having posted back to back 0-0 draws in their last ISL matches. If SC Delhi can find defensive solidity here, they have a genuine chance of frustrating a Jamshedpur side that’s been ruthless in front of goal. But breaking their own six match winless run at the other end remains the bigger question mark hanging over this SC Delhi side.
Jamshedpur FC Look to Extend Their Perfect Start Against a Winless SC Delhi Side
Jamshedpur FC’s opening day form and their strong historical record against SC Delhi make them clear favourites heading into this Group C clash. SC Delhi arrive with defensive resilience in recent outings but a troubling lack of goals and results to show for it. A win tonight would put Jamshedpur firmly in control of Group C, while SC Delhi will simply be looking for signs of life in their first Durand Cup outing of the campaign.
