Odisha FC open their doors to Bengaluru for another engaging Indian Super League match here at Kalinga Stadium.
- Odisha FC have the most dropped points from leading position (8) in Indian Super League
Bengaluru have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
These are hustling days for the host team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Indian Super League. That game was an away game at Kerala Blasters, so at least Odisha FC are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Odisha FC form and stats
Only two Indian Super League home games for Odisha FC so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
Odisha lost their last game at Kerala Blasters (placed 2nd) after a 1-2 scoreline. The penalty miss from Mauricio in the defeat against Kerala Blasters was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen. Vanlalruatfela (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.65/10. Vanlalruatfela hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.
A home win ahead of that game, as expected. The team were big favourites against Maziya and won 6-1. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Odisha FC have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Indian Super League game versus NorthEast United in only three days. This game is also played here at Kalinga Stadium.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Odisha FC at home in the league. 4 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Bengaluru form and stats

Sandhu topped it up with a clean sheet.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus East Bengal.Bengaluru are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 1 draw and 6 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.
