Bengaluru FC will lock horns with Odisha FC in match no. 97 of the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Athletic Stadium in Bambolim.
The previous meeting between the sides ended in defeat for the Blues as the Juggernauts announced themselves as a strong side in the competition. However, Kino Garcia's side have gone through a series of ups and downs and are currently outside the top four.
Things aren't too different for the Blues, who have had a shaky start to their ISL 2021-22 campaign but have steadily found their rhythm.
Marco Pezzaiuoli's side suffered another shock defeat in their last match coming up against NorthEast United FC and have dropped outside the top four due to the final outcome.
The side is likely to miss the services of goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu against the Juggernauts.
