Odisha FC will welcome Chennaiyin FC to Kalinga Stadium for their first match of the Indian Super League (ISL)2024-25 season, both teams have prepared well for this season and are ready to achieve their targets for this season.

Both coaches have done their experiments in the pre-season and fans can expect a good battle on the pitch as both teams will be looking to get a good start to the season. There have been changes at both clubs but still the brand of football under both coaches will not change and this will surely be a mouthwatering clash.

The Stakes

Odisha FC

Last time Sergio Lobera did a brilliant job with the Juggernauts and this time as well he will look to keep up the same performance but will try to win a silverware for the team. Odisha FC played really good football in the Bhausaheb Bandodkar trophy and will look to keep up the same performance when they face tough opposition.

With a home advantage in the first match, Odisha will look to claim all three points as they will want to start their new season with a win. Fans can expect an attacking brand of the game from Lobera as the Juggernauts have made their attacking department very strong this season.

Chennaiyin FC

After a disappointing last season, Owen Coyle have made changes to his squad and will look to push his team to win trophies this time. In the pre-season, their performance was very poor and surely Owen will look to make some changes to his tactics.

Fans have a lot of hope for this season and surely Coyle’s men will have to give their best to get good results. Fist game is a challenging one and they will have to focus for the full 90 minutes as the Juggeranuts will give them a tough time on the pitch.
