ISL 2024-25: Odisha FC vs East Bengal FC – Build-up

Odisha FC will host East Bengal FC in their next home game of Indian Super League 2024-25 at the Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneswar on October 22 (Tuesday). 

Last season, East Bengal gave the home team an early scare by taking a lead in the first minute, before Diego Mauricio slotted home the equalizer from the spot in the 40th minute and Princeton scored off Jahouh’s corner to complete the comeback for the Kalinga warriors. 

Stakes

Odisha FC 

The Juggernauts started the season with a subpar performance but have developed their game with each passing fixture. They clinched a win against Jamshedpur FC and then managed a draw against Kerala Blasters. They started their campaign with two back-to-back losses, one against Chennaiyin FC and the other against Punjab FC.

Sergio Lobera’s men will be high on confidence when they take the field to face their opponent in their next match. A win in the game will propel Odisha FC to the sixth position in the points table. 

East Bengal FC 

On the other hand, the East Bengal FC have so far been struggling with form and haven’t been able to register a single win in the league so far. They have lost all five of their encounters in the season. 

They started the season with a loss against Bengaluru FC and went down to Kerala Blasters FC, FC Goa and Jamshedpur FC in their following encounters. Their last match was against arch-rivals Mohun Bagan Super Giant, which they lost by 2-0 goals. If not win, they will surely settle for a draw at Kalinga Stadium and extract one point to their name. 

Odisha FC’s skipper, Amrinder Singh has been their biggest motivator on the field. He generally stands strong when the team is in need.

At the start of the season, he flattered in some of the matches but with every passing game, improved his performance. He will aim to help his team achieve a clean sheet win in the upcoming encounter. 

East Bengal FC’s goalkeeper, Prabhsukhan Gill has looked out of touch in most of the occasions in the season so far. Even when he had put forth all his efforts, he was dismantled by the opposition who have shackled their defense line to score the goals. 

For a quick jump in the points table, East Bengal needs their goalkeeper to bet at his best and help them consume fewer goals. Gill will play a major role in the upcoming game in the season for his side.
