Odisha FC are set to take on Bengaluru FC at the famed Fatorda Stadium in the first match of the seventh game-week of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2020-21.
The Kalinga Warriors are struggling to get going in their second season at the ISL under their new identity (previously known as Delhi Dynamos FC). They are currently placed in the 10th spot in the standings, with just one point from five matches.
On the other hand, Bengaluru FC are on a five-match unbeaten run. They come into this encounter on the back of a stellar 4-2 win over their southern rivals Kerala Blasters FC. The Blues are joint top goal scorers in the league (along with Mumbai City FC), with nine goals to their credit.

Odisha FC vs Bengaluru FC Team News
Odisha FC
Head coach Stuart Baxter will be desperate to get his side on the right track in their ISL 2020-21 campaign. Odisha FC have got off to a dismal start and are on a five-match winless streak with four losses in five matches.
After their spirited comeback in their second match against Jamshedpur FC, they were unsuccessful in capitalizing on the momentum. They went on to lose their next three ISL fixtures in a row, conceding four goals and scoring none.
With no injuries in the squad and a good bunch of talented Indian players on their roster, Odisha FC will aim to overturn their poor form. The likes of Marcelinho, Manuel Onwu, Diego Mauricio, and Nandha Kumar Sekar will be expected to come out all guns blazing when they take on the Blues.
