It's finally time for the Indian Super League opening game for these squads, whom look forward to competing for points again. Will Jamshedpur or Odisha FC get that crucial first win?
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Jamshedpur form and stats
Jamshedpur could celebrate like crazy last season after winning the Indian Super League. Home supporters are hoping for more of the same this season. In the home games here at JRD Tata Sports Complex they witnessed 7 victories, 2 draws and 1 defeat. In total the trophy was secured after W13 - D4 - L3 from 20 games.
Odisha FC form and stats
Let's have a look at how Odisha FC performed last season in the Indian Super League: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 5 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 31 and conceded 43 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 2 and lost 6 with 11/23 goals scored/conceded.
That victory was so important for this team, after a painful period of ten league rounds in a row not winning.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Odisha manager Balague as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Mumbai City.
