Odisha FC Preview
Odisha FC come into this clash on the back of a couple of losses against ATK Mohun Bagan and Mumbai City FC. They will aim to put their poor start in ISL 2020-21 behind them and get their first win.
Head coach Stuart Baxter would hope for a better performance from his defense after conceding five goals in their last three encounters.
