A place in the final of the ISL 2023/24 playoffs is up for grabs as Odisha FC carry a slender 2-1 lead over Mohun Bagan. The iconic Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata will be full of vociferous fans on Sunday to see who makes the cut. The winner of this tie will face the winner of the other semi-final between Mumbai United and Goa. Mohun Bagan qualified for the last four by winning the ISL 2023–24 season, finishing top of the points at the end of the regular season. The euphoria of beating Mumbai in the title-winning clash was submerged in the first leg as the Mariners fell to a 2-1 loss in Bhubaneshwar. An early third-minute goal by Manvir Singh gave Mohun Bagan the perfect start, but they were pegged quickly back as Odisha found the leveler in the 11th minute and later the winner in the 39th minute. Home form has been top-notch for Mohun Bagan, who have won four of their last five matches at this venue.

Odisha qualified for the last four by edging past the Kerala Blasters in the playoffs. After beating Kerala 2-1 through additional extra time, the Juggernauts had to come back from a goal down in the first leg. They did well to find two goals within the first half and thereby take a decisive lead in the tie. It was their first win against Mohun Bagan after a run of nine ISL matches without a win, drawing five and losing four. Doing an encore and repeating the task could be tough, though, as they look to breach the Kolkata citadel. Odisha have their own problems to tackle, as they have lost four of their last five away matches in all competitions.
