Chennaiyin FC vs Odisha FC: CFC vs OFC Dream11 Team Prediction Fantasy Football Tips for Today's ISL Match - February 2, 2023

Chennaiyin FC (CFC) and Odisha FC (OFC) lock horns in the first match of Matchweek 18 of the Hero Indian Super League 22/23 on Thursday, February 2, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai.

Both sides come into this game in poor form. Chennaiyin's hopes of making the playoffs were dealt a huge blow by their 3-1 defeat against Bengaluru FC last time out. They'll need to break their winless streak of six games to keep themselves in the hunt.

Once comfortably in the reckoning to make the playoffs, Odisha FC's poor form and Bengaluru FC's surge have left the former blindsided. They have only win in their last seven games, losing 2-0 to ATK Mohun Bagan in their last outing.

Chennaiyin FC vs Odisha FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions

With both teams struggling for form ahead of this game, this match should be a close one. Chennaiyin FC need to take their chances better and turn their draws into wins. For Odisha FC, they have been guilty of conceding more goals than they should. They should aim to keep a shutout this time around.

Due to a lack of proven point-scoring options in midfield and attack, I've retained the same seven players on both of my suggestions. They are Saul Crespo, Julius Duker, Vincy Barretto, Nandhakumar Sekar, Diego Mauricio, Jerry Mawihmingthanga, and Petar Sliskovic.

Aakash Sangwan, the defender with the most assists this season, is another must-have. Diego Mauricio, Petar Sliskovic, and Nandhakumar Sekar would be my preferred captaincy picks for this game.
