Match Preview
Odisha FC hosts NorthEast United at the Kalinga Stadium on February 3rd, with both teams aiming to solidify their positions in the Indian Super League. Odisha comes into this match with a mixed bag of results, having recorded two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five outings. Their home advantage could play a crucial role, especially considering their strong head-to-head record against NorthEast, winning six of the last ten encounters.
NorthEast United, on the other hand, arrives in decent form, winning four of their last five matches. Their recent resurgence suggests they will be a formidable opponent, but they have struggled historically at Kalinga Stadium, where Odisha tends to perform well. With both teams showing a propensity to score—evident from the high number of matches featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in recent head-to-heads—betting on both teams to score (BTTS Yes at 1.5) could be a worthwhile angle. The odds suggest a close contest, but Odisha's home advantage may just tip the balance in their favour.
