Odisha are looking to snatch the third place from Mohun Bagan going into the final match of the season.

The Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium will be the location for this encounter.

TEAMS PREVIEW

NorthEast United FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful

• NorthEast United have scored in three consecutive matches

• The team has very little pressure 

Reasons to be fearful

• NorthEast United have lost three out of the last four

• The team has had only four wins at home this season

NorthEast United will be finishing outside the play-off positions as the victory over Kerala Blasters could not be followed up with another success against Chennaiyin. The team are four points behind the play-off places going into the final game. Still, it was a relatively valiant effort from NorthEast United. Coach Juan Pedro Benali has no injury concerns in the squad.

Star man – Madathil Subran

Tomi Juric remains the top scorer in the NorthEast United squad with five goals but Madathil Subran has been in outstanding form goals in three consecutive matches. The 26-year-old from south India has been able to hit goals in the matches against Mumbai City, Kerala Blasters, and Chennaiyin.

Odisha FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful 

• Odisha have picked up wins in the last five matches against NorthEast United

• The team has lost only once in the recent four matches

Reasons to be fearful

• Odisha have struggled in away matches of late with three defeats in four

• The team has struggled to convert chances in away matches

Odisha failed to capitalise on the impressive form shown by Diego Maurício after losing the game against Mumbai City. The result has put the team on the back foot with regard to the upcoming play-offs. Odisha have been suffering from lost momentum for the last few weeks and it would take a remarkable turnaround from the team to do well in the play-offs.

Star man – Diego Maurício

Diego Maurício is certainly back on form but his goals could not help avoid a defeat against Mumbai City in the last match. The Brazilian is now up to 10 goals for the campaign – only two behind the club’s top scorer Roy Krishna.

NORTHEAST UNITED FC vs ODISHA FC
Winning Prediction

NorthEast United have suffered only three defeats at home this season and they will be very tough for Odisha. However, this is a fixture in which Odisha have dominated with five consecutive victories. Armed with a player like Diego Mauricio on excellent form, Odisha will be motivated to pick up a victory and get back momentum ahead of the play-offs.
