Odisha FC form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Indian Super League this season. Odisha FC, who have the most conceded goals (39) in Indian Super League, have only managed 0 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses from their games here at GMC Stadium. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts. With nine home Indian Super League games in a row without a win, the Odisha fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Hyderabad game long ago, can be stopped today.
The Odisha fans got no joy from their last match, a Indian Super League game also here at GMC Stadium: A 1-6 defeat against Mumbai City (placed 2nd). A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Goa.
Odisha were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Odisha FC's goalkeeper Arshdeep Singh was extremely busy against Mumbai City, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.
Odisha aren't scoring a lot here at GMC Stadium in the league, with only 8 goals from 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Odisha with 21 goals conceded in these matches. It's worth mentioning that 12 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
East Bengal form and stats
There's been little loot from East Bengal's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 9 away games in the Indian Super League. East Bengal only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws.
Bengal might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. NorthEast United proved too strong as East Bengal slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Yuba Bharati Krirangan (Salt Lake Stadium). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against ATK Mohun Bagan wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting East Bengal as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Bengal have conceded 14 goals in their away games.
