MBG vs ODI Match Preview
Mohun Bagan suffered a disappointing loss in the semi-final first leg at Kalinga Stadium despite taking the lead through Manvir Singh from a corner in only the third minute of the match. Their first league defeat to Odisha FC will prove costly if they fail to make a comeback in the second leg at home. The Mariners have won the League Shield but are looking to defend the ISL trophy to complete a treble this season having also won the Durand Cup last year. To reach a third ISL final, the Green and Maroons have to win against the Juggernauts, to force extra time at minimum, in an expected full-house Salt Lake again to stand any chance. Anything less than that will eliminate them from the semifinals repeating their AFC Cup exit in the hands of the same opposition at the same venue. However, Mohun Bagan will not want to entertain the crushing 5-2 loss of that evening and will be desperate to prevent their manager Antonio Habas from losing against a Sergio Lobera-led team once again.
After going down, the response from Odisha FC was swift with Carlos Delgado bringing it all square from a corner before Roy Krishna scored the eventual winner in the 39th minute of the match. The victory ensured that the Juggernauts made Kalinga Stadium a fortress without suffering a defeat at home in ISL all season. It could also be historical with the Kalinga Warrior on the verge of a first ISL final appearance and the opportunity to lift the silverware to mark an excellent season for them. Odisha FC have tackled the atmosphere of the opposition fans in this fixture twice before and requires just a draw this time to seal their way. However, the Juggernauts have struggled in away games this ISL season with just three wins. Lobera’s side has only won once in the last eight matches on the road in all competitions. With an advantage in hand, Odisha FC will hope those statistics do not come into play on Sunday.
