East Bengal FC will take on Odisha FC in the second match of Matchweek 7 of the Hero Indian Super League 2022-23 on Friday, November 18, at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata.
While East Bengal enter this match on the back of a morale-boosting 1-0 away win over Bengaluru FC, Odisha FC come into this one after a 13-day break. It'll be interesting to see whether or not it worked in their favor.
A well-organized East Bengal defense proved very tough for Bengaluru FC to break down, and when Cleiton Silva pounced on a mistake to put them 1-0 up, they saw the game out with ease.

Meanwhile, despite it being an evenly contested game, Odisha FC ended up losing 1-0 to Hyderabad in their last outing. While their defense has been fairly solid, they need to start scoring more goals.

East Bengal FC vs Odisha FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Considering both these sides' defense-first style of play, I don't envision many goals being scored in this game. As a result, I've gone with a back five in the first suggestion and a back four in the second one, not retaining Diego Mauricio to accommodate the same.
Carlos Javier, Osama Malik, Thoiba Singh, Raynier Fernandes, Jordan O'Doherty, and Cleiton Silva are the six players that make it to both teams. The in-form Cleiton now has three goals in five matches for East Bengal and has what it takes to add to this tally.
However, trusting one of your defenders with the captain's armband might not be such a bad suggestion when you take into account both sides' clean sheet prospects. Thoiba Singh is one to watch out for, playing in midfield despite being listed as a defender.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Kamaljit Singh, Carlos Javier, Jerry Lalrinzuala, Osama Malik, Thoiba Singh, Charalambos Kyriakou, Raynier Fernandes, Jordan O'Doherty, Cleiton Silva, Cleiton Silva, and Diego Mauricio.
Captain: Cleiton Silva | Vice-Captain: Diego Mauricio.
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Amrinder Singh, Carlos Javier, Ivan Garrido Gonzalez, Osama Malik, Thoiba Singh, Raynier Fernandes, Jordan O'Doherty, Naorem Mahesh Singh, Cleiton Silva, Jerry Mawihmingthanga, and VP Suhair.
Captain: Jordan O'Doherty. Vice-Captain: Thoiba Singh.
