Odisha FC vs Jamshedpur FC Preview

Odisha FC are on a 10-match unbeaten run and are returning to home for the last match of the year as Sergio Lobera and side picked four points in two games. Roy Krishna's first-half goal sealed the win in Delhi against Punjab FC after they narrowly escaped defeat against East Bengal in Kolkata following two controversial calls.

The win in Punjab FC came after coach Lobera tweaked his line-up to put both Diego Mauricio and Krishna in the setup. While Krishna's form is what they are banking on, Brazilian forward Mauricio is looking rusty post his return from injury.

Apart from the two overseas duo, Isaak Ralte is a crucial presence on the right wing while fullbacks Amey Ranawade and Jerry Lalrinzuala are responsible for providing further width on the flanks. However, it's Moroccan midfield maestro Ahmed Jahouh, who is the architect of Odisha's stellar run. The deep-lying playmaker is assisted by Lenny Rodrigues, Puitea, or Princeton Robello, who are capable of unlocking rival defense with their passing range.

Jamshedpur FC, on the other hand, have brought their campaign back on track with a morale-boosting 5-0 win over Hyderabad FC away. Daniel Chima Chukwu was the star of the win as his brilliance stunned Hyderabad's defense, including an overhead bicycle-kick goal.

However, when it comes to creating attacks, Jeremy Manzorro and Rei Tachikawa have been crucial in providing the quality while youngsters Mohammed Sanan and Nikhil Barla provide the width on the flanks but are from finished products. As far as their defense is concerned, Brazilian veteran El Sinho is the man coach Scott Cooper relies on.
