FC Goa vs Odisha FC prediction
Odisha FC have struggled to get a win over relatively stronger teams in the competition this season. Their defense has been lackluster, having already conceded 30 goals in 17 matches.
FC Goa also have an error-prone defensive setup and have kept only two clean sheets this season. However, their prolific strike force up front should be able to fetch them a win.
Prediction: FC Goa 3-2 Odisha FC
