TEAMS PREVIEW

Odisha FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful

• Odisha are still unbeaten at home this season

• The club have conceded only eight goals in the 10 home games

Reasons to be fearful

• The sudden drop in goals is a serious concern

• Odisha have had only seven goals in the last six matches

Odisha had to settle for a point against Bengaluru in the last match and this may not do a lot of good for their ambitions. The club are level on points with Goa having played the same number of matches. Mumbai City are just five points ahead of Odisha but the lack of momentum from Sergio Lobera’s causes a lot of concern. In the last four matches in all competitions, Odisha have been left winless.

Star man – Roy Krishna

Roy Krishna still leads the Indian Super League scoring charts with 12 goals. Even though he did not score against Bengaluru in the last match, the best route for goals from Odisha may be through the veteran.

Punjab FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful 

• Punjab have had three consecutive away victories

• The team has produced excellent counter-attacking solutions

Reasons to be fearful

• Punjab are yet to beat Odisha

• There may not be a lot of motivation for Punjab

Punjab are hoping to end the season on a positive note with the team managing three consecutive away victories after having struggled with the same in the early part of the campaign. This string of away success has played a crucial role in putting Punjab on the verge of a top-one other than the linear six position. For the upcoming game, coach Staikos Vergetis will have a fully fit squad for the game.

Star man – Wilmar Jordan

Wilmar Jordan has been one of the consistent performers for Punjab in the last few weeks. The striker has hit six goals in the campaign with three in as many consecutive matches. The powerful presence provided by the 33-year-old will make it tough for Odisha even further.

ODISHA FC vs PUNJAB FC
Winning Prediction

Punjab have fared extremely well in the last few away matches and they are likely to pose a big threat for Odisha, who have suddenly found it difficult to find the back of the net. The current scoring difficulties faced by Odisha could play into the hands of Punjab, who have been playing some impressive stuff on the counter.
