Match 31: Odisha FC vs Bengaluru FC
Odisha FC who have struggled so far will be facing Bengaluru FC who are yet to see a defeat. Odisha FC has gone goalless in 4 of its 5 games this season, while Bengaluru FC couldn’t score a goal only against Hyderabad FC.
Stuart Baxter’s men have just one point so far - (LLLDL). On the other hand, Bengaluru FC are 4th on the table with 9 points and an unbeaten record in the tournament - (WDWDD).
Baxter’s side averages just 2.4 shots on target per match so far and the Englishman stressed the need for his side to be more attacking in nature.
Odisha’s defence has conceded 7 goals so far, four of which have been from set-pieces (3 penalties and 1 free-kick). They have conceded a goal in almost every match.
Bengaluru have scored their goals from set-pieces so far, including three from throw-ins, and will look to exploit Odisha’s vulnerability in this regard. They are also high on confidence, coming off a huge win against Kerala Blasters, in which Cleiton Silva and Sunil Chhetri managed to find the net.
Can Odisha FC look to turn around their fortunes against in-form Bengaluru FC?
