Odisha FC form and stats

Isak Vanlalruatfela, Javi Hernández, Hector Rodas (2) and Ariday (2) scored in Odisha's previous match, the home game against East Bengal that ended 6-4. As you can tell from the result, the match against East Bengal was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 10 goals, will the fun continue today? Attacker Javi Hernández got a player rating of 8.32 in the game. "Man of the match" Hernández scored one goal, signed up for two assists, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Bengaluru.
