Reigning champions Hyderabad FC, in hopes of extending their unbeaten run, will welcome second-placed Odisha FC at the GMC Balayogi Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday, October 5.
The Nizams are at the top of the table with 10 points from four games, having won three consecutive games on the trot. In their previous encounter, Manolo Marquez's side edged past FC Goa in a tightly-contested affair.
Javier Saverio's early first-half goal proved to be the difference between the sides.

Meanwhile, the Juggernauts are in fine form of their own, having won three and lost one of their encounters. Under Josep Gombau, Odisha FC have shown great resilience across matches to come away with important points.
Odisha downed Bengaluru FC in their last game, thanks to a 33rd-minute goal from Nandhakumar Sekar.
Hence, when the two in-form sides collide, a footballing spectacle can very well be expected.
