Odisha FC’s offensive juggernaut welcomes Mohun Bagan Super Giant’s defensive grit to Kalinga stadium Bhubaneswar.
Bhubaneswar, November 9 (pratyushanews ): Odisha FC brace for a challenging endeavour as they take on the dynamic Mohun Bagan Super Giant, with a clash of attacking firepower and defensive grit set to unfold in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on November 10, at 7:30 pm IST. Having secured one win in their previous 11 ISL encounters against the Mariners, Odisha FC, under head coach Sergio Lobera, are keen to leverage their strong home record to reignite their season’s momentum. They have been unbeaten in their previous three encounters at this stadium against the Mariners, winning once i.e. in the first leg of last season’s semi-final, and drawing twice. Odisha FC come in with a notable home scoring streak – netting in 16 out of their 17 home matches under Lobera’s watch, while Mohun Bagan Super Giant boast a formidable defence that has kept three consecutive clean sheets. The team has scored multiple goals in all of those encounters and won each game with a thumping majority. Will Odisha FC find a way past the Mariners’ wall, or will Mohun Bagan Super Giants’ star-studded line-up breach through the Juggernauts in their backyard? It is to be noted that the only home game that Odisha FC didn’t find the back of the net in Lobera’s tenure came against the Mariners in a goalless draw in February 2024. At present, Mohun Bagan Super Giant are second in the points table with 13 points from six games, whereas Odisha FC are positioned ninth with eight of them in seven encounters.
