### Current Form & Standings

Sporting Club Delhi currently sit 10th in the ISL 2025-26 standings with 10 points from 10 matches — a record that reads 2 wins, 4 draws, and 4 defeats. Their recent form shows a mixed bag: a big 3-0 win over NorthEast United, a loss to Chennaiyin, a draw against Mohammedan SC, and another goalless stalemate against Punjab FC last time out. They need wins desperately to avoid a bottom-half finish.

Odisha FC are on a five-match winless streak, having registered one draw and four defeats in that span, with a tally of just one victory overall and 17 goals conceded — the leakiest defence in the league. The Juggernauts are in real trouble.

### Key Players to Watch

**Joseph Sunny (SC Delhi)** — The attacker has been Delhi’s most dangerous forward this season, contributing crucial goals including a brace against NorthEast United. If Delhi are going to win this, Sunny needs to be clinical.

**Rahul KP (Odisha FC)** — Rahul KP produced a Player of the Match brace in Odisha’s 4-1 win over NorthEast United — their sole standout performance of the season. He remains Odisha’s best hope of finding the net.

### Match Prediction: Sporting Delhi to Edge It

This is a tight one on paper, but Delhi have home advantage and slightly better recent defensive solidity. Rafael Ribeiro has been a wall at the back for SC Delhi, and against an Odisha side that has been conceding freely, the home team should have enough quality to claim all three points. A narrow 1-0 or 2-1 home win looks the most likely outcome. [New Kerala](https://www.newkerala.com/news/a/isl-2025-26-sc-delhi-punjab-fc-share-points-181.htm)
