Odisha FC will look to build on their positive momentum when they travel to the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati to face NorthEast United on Friday, February 17. The Highlanders, who will play their last home game of the season, are placed bottom of the league. With just one victory to their name, they have struggled for results throughout the campaign.
Vincenzo Annesse was brought mid-way through the season and while NorthEast United have shown improvements, they certainly do not possess the quality to challenge the teams ahead of them. Last time out, the Highlanders played out a thrilling 3-3 draw against East Bengal, with several youngsters in the side showing promising signs.
Meanwhile, their opponents, Odisha FC, are on the back of a crucial 3-1 victory over Hyderabad FC. The performance would have pleased head coach Josep Gombau as his side dominated the game and deservingly secured all three points.
After FC Goa’s defeat against Chennaiyin FC, the Juggernauts now have the chance to seal a top-six finish with two victories. Gombau will hope that his side can once again rise to the occasion to grab the coveted playoff spot.
