Indian Super League: We're expecting an engaging and crucial scrap involving East Bengal and Odisha FC at Tilak Maidan Stadium. Both are in need of a good run!
- East Bengal have the most conceded goals in the first half (18) in Indian Super League
- Odisha FC have the fewest matches over the total-line (1) in Indian Super League
These teams have little in common geographically as Odisha FC have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
