Odisha FC will play Mohammedan SC at the Kalinga Stadium in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 on Friday. The home side has been defeated and drawn twice in their last five games, hampering their chances to make it to the top-6. Odisha FC also hope that Mumbai City FC and/or NorthEast United FC drop points going forward for the Sergio Lobera-coached side to remain in contention for the further stages of the competition.Mohammedan SC, on the other hand, have faced losses in all of their last 5 games and are at the bottom with 11 points from 21 games. Another defeat in this game will mark MohammedanSC’s longest losing streak in ISL history. The last time they went goalless in consecutive matches was back in early 2023, and they will want to avoid that feat in this match. The Juggernauts are also battling competition from East Bengal FC and Kerala Blasters FC, who have 27 and 24 points from 22 and 21 encounters respectively. They will target to win consecutive home games for the first time since their four-game winning run from February- April 2024. They can, however, draw confidence from the fact that both of their wins this season have come on the road. The only ISL fixture between these teams produced a draw earlier this season.
