Bengaluru FC vs Odisha FC Prediction: Odisha can double over Bengaluru for the first time in ISL

Bengaluru FC will welcome Odisha FC in the 15th game week of the Indian Super League at G.M.C. Sree Kanteerava Stadium. Both teams won their last game after a slump, and are trying for playoff spots. An interesting game lies ahead. Who will win?

Bengaluru FC Form

Bengaluru is not having the season that they hoped for before the start of the ISL. The lack of precision in front of the goal has cost them heavily this season. Sitting in the eighth spot with only four wins in 13 games, Bengaluru needs to improve a lot to make it to the qualifying spots. Bengaluru grabbed an important week in the last week with a win over Northeast United after losing two back-to-back games. Blues defender Alan Costa was the difference to get them all three points. Their performance against teams above them in the table has not been good but they would need to change that to have any hopes of qualifying. 

Bengaluru FC's possible lineup

Gurpreet Singh Sandhu; Prabir Das, Alan Costa, Aleksandar Jovanovic, Parag Shrivas; Javi Hernandez, Suresh Wangjam, Rohit Kumar; Roshan Singh, Roy Krishna, Sivasakhti Narayanan

Odisha FC Form

Odisha ended their four-game winless run after defeating East Bengal with a scoreline of 3-1. The Juggernauts started the season well before hitting a roadblock and slowing down a bit. Despite their winless run, they are sitting in the fifth spot in the table with seven wins in 13 games. With pressure mounting up at the end of the season, Odisha will want to secure a playoff berth as fast as possible. They beat Bengaluru in the reverse fixture and have the chance to double over the south Indian giants for the first time in ISL.  

Odisha FC Predicted lineup

Amrinder Singh; Narender Gahlot, Carlos Delgado, Omar Malik, Denechandra Meitei; Saul Crespo, Raynier Fernandes, Thoiba Moirangthem; Jerry Mawihmingthanga, Diego Mauricio, Nandha Kumar

Bengaluru FC vs Odisha FC expert tips

Odisha's attack looks fierce and Bengaluru had a hard time scoring goals in this ISL. Also, Bengaluru's defence is not as strong. We can expect goals galore in this game with Odisha in the driver's seat. Odisha looks a better side with their current form.
