After securing their first home victory of the ISL 2022-23 season, East Bengal will travel to the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar to face Odisha FC on Saturday, January 7.

In their most recent outing, the Red and Gold Brigade secured a late 2-1 victory over Bengaluru FC thanks to a stunning free-kick from Cleiton Silva in second-half injury time.

The victory has not only boosted morale in the camp but also the Kolkata giants' chances of making it into the knockout spots.

Odisha FC, on the other hand, are coming into the game on the back of a 4-2 defeat at the hands of high-flying Mumbai City FC.
