Match Preview
Odisha FC will host Hyderabad FC at Kalinga Stadium on February 14, with both teams looking to secure crucial points in the Indian Super League. Odisha comes into this match with a solid record, having won two of their last five matches (WDLWD), showcasing a resilient form at home. In contrast, Hyderabad has struggled recently, managing just one draw and four losses in their last five outings (DLLDL), which puts them under pressure to turn their fortunes around.
One notable angle to consider is Odisha's attacking prowess, highlighted by their recent head-to-head record against Hyderabad, where they have won five of the last ten encounters. With seven of those matches seeing over 2.5 goals, the likelihood of a high-scoring affair is significant. The odds of 1.44 for over 2.5 goals suggest that bookmakers expect an open game, especially given both teams' tendency to concede. As Odisha aims to capitalize on their home advantage, Hyderabad will need to tighten their defence to avoid another disappointing result.
