Odisha FC vs Hyderabad FC Match Preview


Odisha FC became the sixth Indian club to qualify for the knockout round of the AFC Cup and the fourth side ever to do it in their debut campaign from the nation with a 1-0 victory over 10-men Bashundhara Kings in the final group game. Center-back Mourtada Fall scored the only goal in the match in the second match on his return to put the Kalinga Warriors in dreamland making it the fourth straight victory in the competition. The campaign will stick in the minds of everyone involved with Odisha FC considering the fact they were bottom of the group after the first two matches with no points earned. With time to go till they take the continental stage again next year, the Juggernauts will hope to make the maximum of their ISL duties so they can boost title chances domestically as well. Sergio Lobera’s team are placed fifth in the standings with six points away from the top spot after eight games. Odisha FC will face teams in the bottom half of the ISL table in the final four games starting with the last boys Hyderabad FC at home. They only managed a draw against Mohun Bagan even after leading by two Ahmed Jahouh’s strike at half-time in Salt Lake in the last match, hoping not to make the same mistake again.    

With days going by, Hyderabad FC are fearing the worst of their on-field performance and their financial crisis which has been a huge factor for them this season. More players have left over non-payment of wages and the team is unable to come out from their disappointing winless run since the start of the campaign. The 1-1 comeback draw with NorthEast United after Petteri Pennanen’s strike on the stroke of half-time cancelled out Nim Dorjee’s unfortunate own goal was the fourth time the spoils were shared. Hyderabad FC have lost the rest of the nine games so far with increasingly likely they will remain bottom at the end of the year. The 2022 ISL winners will face fellow strugglers Jamshedpur FC in the final game of 2023 and may try to win that fixture to at least enter the Asian Cup break on a positive note. However, facing Odisha FC at Kalinga Stadium before that is a huge challenge with the opposition yet to lose a match at home in the ISL this season. The Nawabs lost this meeting 3-1 in February this year with a winning squad back then and also suffered a 2-1 loss against the Juggernauts in the Super Cup. Hence, Thagboi Singto’s team will have to hope for a miracle to secure their first victory of the season.
