Odisha FC will be eager to return to winning ways. But ATK Mohun Bagan will be a more than capable opposition. Juan Ferrando's side have won their last three outings, with their recent victory coming in the form of a 1-0 triumph against Jamshedpur FC.
It was a tightly-contested affair that was ultimately decided by a 91st-minute penalty.

Odisha FC vs ATK Mohun Bagan: Prediction
Although the Green and Maroon Brigade haven't looked the sharpest, they have been more than efficient and Odisha FC will have to be wary of the same. The absence of Nandhakumar Sekar will also be a major blow for the Juggernauts. The Indian winger has been in tremendous form.
Prediction: Odisha FC 1-2 ATK Mohun Bagan
