TEAMS PREVIEW

Odisha FC Preview

The Juggernauts are in a pickle at the moment as they registered a shocking loss to Punjab FC by a margin of 1-2. But the story of the match was all about how they failed to make any shots on target while Punjab managed to hit seven. The fact that they enjoyed a possession of 70% makes it worse. 

Once again, Hugo Boumous will be crucial for Odisha. In the last game, Punjab managed to keep him quiet and ensured he didn't create any meaningful opportunities as he did against Chennaiyan. Nonetheless, injuries are the Juggernauts' main worry. Saviour Gama and Carlos Delgado are yet to  recover from their injuries sustained during the match against Chennaiyin. 

Stats That Matter 

Odisha FC are ranked the best in ball possession with 65%. They average 9.5 shots and 4 corners per game. Roy Krishna and Diego Mauricio are the top scorers with 1 goal each this season. On the defensive side, the team makes an average of 11 clearances and 3.5 saves per game, the 5th best in the season. They have managed 20 tackles and 2.5 interceptions but conceded 2.5 goals per game.

Odisha Probable XI - A Singh (GK); J Lalrinzuala, Thoiba Singh, M Fall, Ranawade (Defenders); I Vanlalruatfela, A Jahouh, H Boumous, L Khawlhring (MidFielders); R Krishna, Rahim Ali

Jamshedpur FC Preview

The Red Miners couldn't have asked for a better start to the season than what they have had till now. Winning two out of two, and more importantly, they beat the defending champions, Mumbai City FC. 

Unlike their opening match, the Red Miners didn’t require the assistance of a late goal to clinch the match. This time, they killed the match in the first half itself through a brace from Javi Hernandez and a goal from striker Jordan Murray. From that point onwards, it was all about dogged defending through Eze and his backline.  As far as the upcoming game is concerned, the Red Miners will look to hit them on the counters. 

Stats That Matter 

Jamshedpur FC are ranked the worst in ball possession with 34.5%. They average 15 shots and 4.5 corners per game. Jordan Murray and Javi Hernandez are the top scorers with 2 goals each this season. On the defensive side, the team makes an average of 29.5 clearances and 4 saves per game, the 4th best in the season. They have managed 15 tackles and 12.5 interceptions but conceded 1.5 goals per game.

Jamshedpur Probable XI - A Gomes (GK); A Mehta, P Chaudhari, S Eze, M Uvais (Defenders); S Das; I Khan, R Tachikawa, J Hernandez, Doungel (MidFielders); J Siverio (Forward)

ODISHA FC vs JAMSHEDPUR FC
Winning Prediction

After defeating Mumbai City in their previous match, Jamshedpur FC will be full of confidence heading into this one. In addition, they have a strong record at Kalinga Stadium versus Odisha, having defeated them in three of their previous five meetings. 

Despite that statistic, Odisha will reminisce how the Juggernauts crushed the Red Miners 4-1 in their last  encounter. The match's hero at the time was Roy Krishna, who scored a brace. It is safe to assume that the Jamshedpur FC are the favourites going into the match given their recent performance.
