Jamshedpur FC vs Odisha FC Prediction
Both Jamshedpur FC and Odisha FC have a balanced squad for their match. With Valskis on their side, it is difficult to see how he won't score or provide an assist for Jamshedpur.
Regarding Odisha, Manuel Onwu looked off-color in their last match because he was deployed as a winger. If the coaching staff can play him as a center-forward, he will surely come up with a goal.
Prediction: Jamshedpur FC 1-1 Odisha FC
