Prediction published on 27/12/2023, 07:00  by Sridhar in Indian Super League Predictions

Odisha will look to stay in the title hunting spots as they come up against a struggling Jamshedpur side after Christmas. This Indian Super League match will be played at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneshwar, Odisha. The hosts are 3rd in the standings with 21 points from 11 matches while the visitors are 10th with nine points form the same number of matches. Odisha start this game two points behind the top-two sides, although they have played two matches more than leaders Goa. On the other hand, they are just two points above the two teams right beneath them in the table, having played at least one game more than them. This puts them in a situation where they can’t afford to drop points. Thankfully, four wins out of the last five at this venue in the ISL indicate form that they can bank upon.

Jamshedpur are coming off a 5-0 win over Hyderabad which was massive in the context of their season. They lost five and drew one of their last six ISL matches prior to that win. It was also just their second win of this league campaign, and sees them build a five-point buffer to the basement club Hyderabad. That said, they are just three points off the top-six sides, so if they can improve on their results, there’s incentive for the visitors. Unfortunately, though, they have struggled on the road and have lost four of their previous five away ISL matches – with the win at Hyderabad being the exception.
