Chennai FC, on the other hand, have endured a stop-start campaign so far. Under Thomas Bradaric, the Marina Machans started their ISL season with a 1-2 victory in Kolkata against ATK Mohun Bagan.
However, since then, they've dropped points on multiple occasions, particularly in their home fixtures. But in their last game, they trumped last season's Shield winners Jamshedpur FC 3-1 at the Marina Arena.
Historically, Chennaiyin have had a slight edge against Odisha, having won two games compared to the Juggernauts' one. Meanwhile, three of their ISL matches have ended in a draw.
