Bengaluru FC vs Odisha FC Head-to-Head stats and numbers you need to know before the 2022-23 ISL clashÂ
Bengaluru FC will lock horns with Odisha FC at the Kanteerava Stadium in an early kickoff at 5.30 pm IST on Saturday, January 14. The Blues will be desperate for a victory to apply pressure on sixth-placed FC Goa. The Juggernauts, on the other hand, will also be eyeing three points to cement their playoff spot with seven league games left.
Simon Grayson's side have tasted only two victories in front of their home crowd. However, it is important to keep in mind that these two victories came against Jamshedpur FC and NorthEast United -- sides that are struggling at the foot of the Indian Super League (ISL) league table.
Odisha FC, on the other hand, put an end to their four-game winless streak with a 3-1 victory against East Bengal in their previous outing. A brace from Diego Mauricio and a solitary goal from Nandha Kumar were enough to seal three points in front of their home crowd.
Despite being marred by poor management and misfortune, Bengaluru FC have quality players to turn the game on its head.
It will be an interesting clash, with both sides pushing for a victory. Simon Grayson and Josep Gombau will be hoping for nothing less than three points on Saturday.
