Bengaluru FC vs Odisha FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Bengaluru FC, still smarting from their earlier 4-2 defeat to Odisha FC this season, will look to settle the score as they host their rivals under the floodlights at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium on Tuesday night. A chance for redemption awaits!

However, the Blues face an uphill battle, grappling with a lack of consistency and a string of disappointing results in recent outings. They enter the contest after narrowly avoiding a defeat to bottom-placed Hyderabad FC, salvaging a 1-1 draw with a late Sunil Chhetri equalizer. Meanwhile, Odisha FC are also struggling, winless in their last four games, including a narrow 3-2 loss to Kerala Blasters in their most recent outing

Head-to-head record: Bengaluru FC and Odisha FC have been involved in 15  matches in the ISL; of these, the former has won 7 while the latter has managed to win 6.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Bengaluru FC Preview

Bengaluru's clash with Hyderabad was a frustrating outing for the Blues, despite salvaging a point. Dominating possession with 62.4%, they struggled to make it count, managing just one shot on target. Thankfully, the ever-reliable Sunil Chhetri stepped up, turning that lone chance into a crucial equalizer, sparing the former champions' blushes.

The result dealt a blow to Bengaluru’s title ambitions, leaving them two points behind second-placed Goa and eight adrift of the top spot.  Come Tuesday, Bengaluru cannot afford to drop points, let alone lose. If they do, their only hope will be for the top two to falter.

Sunil Chhetri, the ageless wonder, proved his worth once again for Bengaluru FC, coming off the bench to save the day against Hyderabad FC. Defying the years, the Blues' talisman remains irreplaceable, leading the team with 10 goals this season. Remarkably, this is only the second time Chhetri has hit double digits in an ISL campaign, the last being his stellar 14-goal run in 2017-18.

Odisha FC Preview

Odisha FC were handed a 3-2 defeat in a rare slip-up against Kerala Blasters last week. After an early goal, they seemed content to sit back, but it backfired as Kerala capitalized. The late drama intensified when Carlos Delgado received a second yellow, leaving the Juggernaut down to 10 men for the final minutes—just enough for Kerala to snatch a dramatic winner.

Despite the loss, it was a night to remember for Dorielton. Stepping in for Roy Krishna, the Brazilian striker marked his ISL debut with a stunning 80th-minute equalizer, announcing himself with a goal that’ll be remembered, even in defeat.

BENGALURU FC vs ODISHA FC
Winning Prediction

While Bengaluru FC may hold the overall head-to-head advantage, recent form suggests a different narrative. Odisha FC are unbeaten in their last five matches (W, W, W, D, W), including a three-game winning streak in the ISL. 

However, at Kanteerava, Bengaluru FC have proven to be a formidable force against Odisha, boasting a dominant 5-1 record in their last 8 encounters. The Blues have a clear home advantage and will be aiming to extend this strong run when the Juggernauts visit. This one is tough to call, but most betting sites favor a win for Bengaluru. Bengaluru is tipped to win with odds of 2 against Odisha's 3.20, while a draw is priced at 3.15.
