Odisha FC vs East Bengal ISL 2023-24 Preview: The Indian Super League 2023-24 is entering its business period and East Bengal will lock horns against Odisha FC in a crucial encounter on Thursday (February 29).

East Bengal are currently placed 8th in the table with 18 points in 16 matches, and they will be up for an uphill battle against Odisha, who are currently at the summit of the ISL table with 32 points in 16 matches.

Odisha FC vs East Bengal - The Preview

The Red and Gold Brigade secured an important win over Chennaiyin FC in the last match as Nandha Kumar scored the solitary goal. Odisha faced Mohun Bagan in the last match and could only manage a goalless draw.

The Kolkata giants need at least a point from this match to keep their playoff hopes floating whereas a win for the Kalinga Warriors can further solidify their status at the top. Spanish coach Carles Cuadrat will not be present at the East Bengal dugout due to his card issues, and Hijazi Maher is also suspended.

In terms of team, Aleksandar Pantic is likely to replace Maher at the back and Sayan Banerjee is poised to start on the left wing. It is to be seen if Felicio Brown Forbes plays as the Costa Rican has failed to impress at his new club. Also, Nandha Kumar didn't train on Wednesday but he is expected to play against his old club. Saul Crespo has started training but the midfielder is doubtful for an immediate return.

Sergio Lobera's men are unbeaten in the last 4 matches and will aim to avenge their Kalinga Super Cup Final defeat against the Torch Bearers. We can expect a similar lineup from the last match and don't expect too many changes in the team.

Roy Krishna has been the key player for the Juggernauts, scoring 11 goals this season. East Bengal captain Cleiton Silva has also netted 7 goals in the league but has gone blank in the last two matches.
