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.
