Odisha FC will welcome NorthEast United FC in a crucial Indian Super League (ISL) clash at the Kalinga Stadium on February 3. With both teams eyeing different objectives, this fixture promises to be one of the most exciting encounters in matchweek 20.
Odisha FC, currently seventh in the standings with 24 points from 17 matches, are fighting to break into the top six, while fourth-placed NorthEast United, with 28 points from 18 games, aim to strengthen their playoff position.

The ISL 2024-25, Odisha FC vs NorthEast United, will be played at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Monday (February 3). The match will kick-off at 7:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time). Odisha FC vs NorthEast United will be telecast live on Sports 18 Network. Fans can also watch the Live stream of Odisha FC vs NorthEast United on the JioCinema app and website.
The Juggernauts, under coach Sergio Lobera, have shown resilience in recent weeks. They come into this match on the back of a thrilling 3-2 comeback win away from home. Finding their attacking rhythm at the right time, Odisha FC will be eager to continue their momentum.
However, they will miss their star forward Roy Krishna, who has been ruled out for the season due to injury. A win would boost their playoff hopes, but a loss could put them in danger of missing out, depending on other results.
NorthEast United FC have enjoyed a decent campaign, sitting in fourth place with seven wins in 18 games. Despite their position, head coach Juan Pedro Benali knows his team could have done better, having suffered narrow defeats to Mohun Bagan Super Giant, East Bengal FC, and Chennaiyin FC.
However, after securing their first win of 2025, they will look to build on that momentum in this tricky run of fixtures. Defensively solid in their last five outings, the Highlanders have also started finding their goal-scoring form.
A fully fit squad gives them an added advantage as they seek to complete a season double over Odisha FC, having won their last two meetings against them. Odisha FC, on the other hand, will need to overcome their inconsistency and make their chances count to keep their top-six hopes alive.
