Chennaiyin FC vs Odisha FC: Head-to-Head stats and other numbers you need to know

Odisha FC will face Chennaiyin FC in Match No. 33 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2021-22 on Saturday at the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco da Gama, Goa.

The Marina Machans have only scored two points in their last three games after a great start to the season. They are now fifth in the table with two wins, two ties, and one loss, but a victory over Odisha FC will put them back in the top four.

Chennaiyin's defense has been rock solid all season. They have only conceded three goals in five ISL games to have the current best defensive record in the league.

Meanwhile, Odisha FC have had a solid start with three wins from five games, but haven't really lit up the tournament as much as their fans had hoped for. Spanish coach Kiko Ramirez has had his fair share of success and failure with Odisha FC this season. Despite a promising start against Jamshedpur FC in their previous match, the Juggernauts were unable to cope with the Red Miners' variety and were trounced 4-0.
