Kerala Blasters will hope to register their second win of the season as they take on a winless Odisha FC side in the Indian Super League (ISL), on Thursday, at the Goa Medical College Ground in Bambolim.

Kibu Vicuna's Kerala Blasters failed to get a win in their first six games as they drew thrice and lost as many times. The Blasters won their first game of the season against Hyderabad FC with a 2-0 scoreline, before losing to Mumbai City FC in their most recent fixture.

Odisha FC are the only ISL team in the ongoing season hunting for their first win. They have only two points from their eight games so far, which they earned from their draws with Jamshedpur FC and NorthEast United FC. Stuart Baxter's side comes into this clash after a 3-1 loss against SC East Bengal.
