Odisha FC vs NorthEast United: Building up

After a brilliant start to their season, which saw them win the first two games, the Juggernauts faced their first defeat against Kerala Blasters. After their defeat, the team from Bhubaneswar sit fifth in the points table, with six points from three games. Odisha FC would like to regain their winning momentum with a win against the Highlanders.

NorthEast United are a far cry from what they were last season. The Highlanders haven’t had the best of starts after gaining just one point from their first three fixtures. The team from Guwahati got their first win of the season in their last match against FC Goa. 

NorthEast United are currently eighth in the points table, with four points from as many games. The Highlanders will like to gain ground on the top four with a win against Odisha in their next match.

For Odisha FC, defender Hector Rodas looks doubtful with an ankle injury. He was subbed off in the last game. Kiko Ramirez also revealed that forward Jonathas de Jesus is still recovering from his injury. He has resumed training, but the NorthEast United game will be a little too early for him, said the Odisha boss.

NorthEast have been plagued with injuries with Federico Gallego ruled out for the remainder of the season. Forward Deshorn Brown came on for the final 15 minutes against FC Goa and is still far from full fitness.
