Odisha FC will host East Bengal at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Saturday, January 7.
The Juggernauts, who are placed sixth in the league table, will be hoping to strengthen their top-6 credentials as they approach a crucial game after going winless in their last four Indian Super League (ISL) outings.
Their previous victory came against a struggling NorthEast United more than a month ago. Josep Gombau will be spearheading his side in an attempt to revive their form as they enter a crucial stage of the season, with Chennaiyin FC breathing down their necks. Bengaluru FC and East Bengal are not far off, either.

Stephen Constantine's side recently beat Bengaluru FC to complete a league double over the Blues. The English tactician will be hoping that his side will bring the same form into this game to climb up the ladder in the ISL table.
Goalscoring has been a problem for East Bengal, while Odisha FC's defensive vulnerabilities have often been exposed. It will thus be an interesting match-up.
