NorthEast United FC come into this fixture on the back of two consecutive draws. They shared the spoils with FC Goa in a 2-2 encounter and followed it up with a goalless draw with Hyderabad FC.
NorthEast United FC have been undefeated since the appointment of Khalid Jamil as the new head coach. The Highlanders are the only team in the competition to defeat both Mumbai City FC and ATK Mohun Bagan — the top two teams in the ISL points table.
Odisha FC are winless in their last seven matches. The period also saw the club sacking their former coach Stuart Baxter following his insensitive comments in the media.
