Mohun Bagan vs Odisha FC Live: Confirmed lineups & pre-match updates for ISL 2026-27
The Mariners look to extend their winning streak
Mohun Bagan look to maintain their impressive winning run in the 2026-27 Indian Super League (ISL) when they host Odisha FC at the Salt Lake Stadium (Kolkata) on Thursday, 5 November (2026).
Riding on a three-match winning streak, the Mariners look to extend that positive run even further and look to pile on the misery on an Odisha FC side that are still looking for their first win of the new campaign.
The Stakes
Mohun Bagan
Mohun Bagan SG will welcome the Juggernauts at home in the ISL.Despite having a shaky start to the 2026-27 ISL campaign with their loss to NorthEast United, Mohun Bagan have bounced back from it in a pretty compelling fashion. They might not be playing the most thrilling attacking football under Panagiotis Dilmperis yet, but they are at least winning matches on a consistent basis.
Dilmperis will look to ensure they can at least maintain that but will urge his players to be more impactful and innovative in the attack. He’ll push them to start being braver in creating chances and finish them off in clinical fashion to entertain the fans at the stadium.
The Mariners need to maintain a compact shape to dominate the game against the unpredictable Odisha FC side, knowing that another win would further raise the motivational levels of the players. However, dropping points to this out-of-form Odisha side would be a particularly gutting feeling that Panagiotis will want to avoid.
Odisha FC
Odisha FC need to win their first game in the ISL 2026-27.Odisha FC have had a pretty frustrating start to their 2026-27 ISL campaign, failing to win any of their opening three matches and only scoring two goals in that period. The Juggernauts are still working with a revamped unit from last season but are yet to be able to tap into their groove.
They have been able to play out two draws in their last two matches but are yet to get three points in any match.
TG Purushothaman is going to look to ensure that his players are able to hold together a really tight defensive shape to frustrate the Mariners and not allow them to play their natural attacking game. However, he’ll also need his players to be braver in creating more unpredictable attacking moves and being prolific in converting chances to be able to get anything positive from this game.
A win for Odisha FC will be a huge confidence-booster, but dropping points again can cause doubts about this unit’s quality to be raised.
Team News
Panagiotis Dilmperis is still sweating on the fitness of Jamie Maclaren, Miguel Figueira and Lalengmawia Ralte heading into this clash. Sahal Abdul Samad is another doubt after going off early in the last game against Punjab FC.
Odisha FC should have the same squad as they did in the previous game against NorthEast United.
