Odisha FC vs NorthEast United FC Team News
Odisha FC
Head coach Stuart Baxter has got off to a dismal start in his first ISL campaign, having faced five defeats in six matches. One of the major worrying factors has been the ineffective attack that has scored just once in the last four ISL fixtures. Despite having a talented trio of Marcelinho, Diego Mauricio, and Manuel Onwu, the Kalinga Warriors have struggled for goals.
They have, however, seen some impressive performances from Indian youngsters Nandha Kumar Sekar, Jerry Mawihmingthanga, and Gaurav Bora. Baxter will hope for a more consistent showing from his overseas players as the tournament progresses.

NorthEast United FC
The Highlanders have been able to deliver much better performances in this season of the ISL. With a disciplined tactical approach, they garnered 10 points from seven matches, with just one defeat.
The defensive pairing of Benjamin Lambot and Dylan Fox has worked well. Young players such as Lalengmawia, Rochharzela, and Ninthoinganba Meetei have displayed great maturity so far in the ISL.
The Highlanders will have the duo of Kwesi Appiah and Idrissa Sylla in the attack. Head coach Gerard Nus is unlikely to make any changes to the side that faced Jamshedpur FC.
