Odisha FC will lock horns with NorthEast United FC in the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) 2021-22 at the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Goa on Friday.
Odisha FC got off to a solid start this season, winning two of their first three games before falling short against Kerala Blasters FC in their last encounter.
Meanwhile, NorthEast United haven't exactly lit up the tournament as their fans had hoped for. The Highlanders suffered a couple of losses and had a draw in their first three matches. However, the last-minute 2-1 triumph over FC Goa would have benefited Khalid in rekindling the team's fervor.
