TEAMS PREVIEW

Odisha FC Preview

The Juggernauts seemed down and out against Punjab, trailing by a goal and reduced to 10 men by halftime. But just when hope was fading, winger Isak Van Lalruatfela stepped up. His strike wasn’t the cleanest, but Punjab’s keeper fumbled it, giving them a crucial equalizer and a lifeline in the match and kept their hopes alive in the competition.

With 26 points, the Juggernauts sit seventh in the table, five points off the playoff spots with just four games left. They’re still in the race, especially with NorthEast United only three points ahead and matches against the bottom two teams coming up. But a tough away trip to Mohun Bagan and a potential do-or-die clash at Jamshedpur on the final day make their path tricky. Given Jamil’s formidable home form, that’s a situation Lobera would rather avoid. Right now, their playoff hopes are hanging by a thread.

Team News

Odisha FC will receive a major boost against Hyderabad as key players Ahmed Jahouh and Mourtada Fall return from suspension. However, their joy is tempered by the absence of forward Rahul KP, who will miss the clash due to a red card suspension.

Hyderabad FC Preview

Unlike their struggling opponents, the southern side had no trouble securing three points, cruising past a lackluster Mohammedan 3-1. It was their second win in three games, pushing them five points clear of the bottom. A victory on Friday could see them leapfrog East Bengal and climb further up the table.

When the Nizams take the field on Friday, one thing will be on their minds—the 6-0 humiliation Odisha handed them at home. With the hosts under pressure and the Nizams in better form with nothing to lose, revenge is definitely on the cards.

Aerial vulnerability on set-pieces has been a glaring weakness for the Nizams this season, with nine goals conceded in such situations—including one in their recent game against Mohammedan. With no playoff hopes left and only a few games remaining, tightening up at the back is something they must focus on

Team News 

As of now, there are no reported injuries or suspensions affecting the Hyderabad FC squad. Head Coach Thangboi Singto is expected to have a full roster available for selection.

Hyderabad FC Probable XI - Singh (GK) ; Rafi, Sapic, Saji, M Mohammad, Alba, Vanmalswama, Ramhlunchhunga, Rabeeh, Goddard, De Souza Miranda.

ODISHA FC vs HYDERABAD FC
Winning Prediction

Odisha FC enters the contest as a clear favorite, having dominated Hyderabad FC with five straight wins, including a resounding 6-0 thrashing earlier this season. However, with Odisha under immense pressure, the Nizams might just find the perfect opportunity to turn the tide. As far as the odds are concerned, most betting sites back Odisha for a win. Odisha FC are tipped to win with odds of 1.64 against Hyderabad FC’s 4.30, and a draw is at 3.83.
