After a stellar 4-2 comeback victory against East Bengal, high-flying Odisha FC are back in their own backyard and will next lock horns with Chennaiyin FC on Thursday, November 24.
The Juggernauts are yet to drop points at the Kalinga Stadium this season, while the Marina Machans are on a winning run away from home.
Odisha FC were two goals down at half-time against East Bengal before a quickfire brace from substitute Pedro Martin leveled proceedings in the second half. Ultimately, Josep Gombau's side won the game by a 4-2 margin, their third come-from-behind win of the season.

Chennai FC, on the other hand, have endured a stop-start campaign so far. Under Thomas Bradaric, the Marina Machans started their ISL season with a 1-2 victory in Kolkata against ATK Mohun Bagan.
However, since then, they've dropped points on multiple occasions, particularly in their home fixtures. But in their last game, they trumped last season's Shield winners Jamshedpur FC 3-1 at the Marina Arena.
Historically, Chennaiyin have had a slight edge against Odisha, having won two games compared to the Juggernauts' one. Meanwhile, three of their ISL matches have ended in a draw.
