## The Teams

**Odisha FC** opened their campaign with a 2-1 loss to Punjab FC, conceding a late winner. Coach T. G. Purushothaman has built a squad around Stephen Eze, goalkeeper Hrithik Tiwari and Brazilian striker Everton. They have been away from home for their first two league games, so Kalinga will feel like a fresh start.

**NorthEast United** began the season on a high, beating Mohun Bagan 1-0 at home, and sit near the top of the early table. Coach Juan Pedro Benali’s side won the Durand Cup last season, so confidence is high. For background, see [NorthEast United on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NorthEast_United_FC).
