Our Prediction
This is our own read, not a guarantee. Odisha look slightly stronger on paper and have the better head-to-head record. Inter Kashi, though, played well against Kerala and have home support in spirit, even if they are playing away from Varanasi. Expect a tight game with Odisha edging it.
