35' Both teams have struggled a lot to create any promising chances in the last 10 minutes.

KBFC 0-1 OFC
20' Kerala's response to conceding the goal has been decent. They're putting the pressure on Odisha more and more. However, the lack of creativity inside the box is too clear to ignore and considering how individual errors are leaving the back vulnerable, the attacks are yet to compensate for that.

Jerry celebrates his goal for Odisha FC.
4' What a start to the game for Odisha FC who create a chance and open the scoresheet early into the game out of nothing. Jerry may have scored the goal for the Juggernauts, but the courtesy should also go to the error made by the Tuskers' defence.

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the ISL 2024-25 match between Kerala Blasters and Odisha FC.
Whereas, Kerala Blasters are determined to preserve their strong home form against Odisha FC. Odisha FC have been impressive in attack, sitting third in the league with 29 goals scored. Striker Diego Mauricio has been key, netting seven goals this season.
Kerala Blasters FC, on the other hand, have scored 23 goals, ranking sixth in this category. However, defensively, both teams have struggled, each securing just three clean sheets, pointing to vulnerabilities at the back.
One of the key narratives in this fixture is Kerala Blasters FC's tendency to drop points when in a winning position against Odisha FC, having conceded 15 points from such situations-more than any other team. This underscores the need for Kerala to stay composed and focused throughout the game.
Noah Sadaoui has been a standout player for Kerala Blasters FC, with 10 goal contributions (6 goals, 4 assists), helping the team stay unbeaten in matches where he has scored (W4 D2). His role in breaking down Odisha's defense will be critical.
Odisha FC's coach, Sergio Lobera, holds a strong record against Kerala Blasters FC, having won nine out of 12 encounters (D2 L1). A tenth win would make him the first manager in ISL history to achieve such a feat, showcasing his tactical expertise.
T.G. Purushothaman, interim head coach of Kerala Blasters FC, emphasized the need for collective effort: "We have to function as a team. We need to stay focused and overcome any challenges." Similarly, Sergio Lobera of Odisha FC stressed the importance of teamwork: "We need to press high, keep possession, and not allow them to dominate in our half."
