Punjab will be up against Odisha in the Indian Super League, hoping to build on their first win of the season. They come into this game bottom of the league while their visitors are fifth on the table. In their second straight home game, Punjab will be keen on a successive win. The 1-0 victory over Chennaiyin was their second clean sheet in three matches, an improvement in defence. Over the course of their last five matches, Punjab conceded more than a goal in just one. Seven of their last 10 matches produced under 2.5 goals. They’ve managed more than a goal in just one of their 11 matches this season.

As Punjab target their second win of the season, Odisha are coming into this game with five wins. They’ve lost twice in their opening 10 matches and will be gunning for three more points here. A win here could move them to second in the standings, being just two points out. Odisha are coming from a 0-0 draw with East Bengal, their third straight clean sheet. They’ve conceded just twice in the last five matches, signaling their strength in defence. Meanwhile, the visitors only failed to score once in their last 15 matches. Over the course of the season, they’ve improved greatly after starting the league with a 4-0 home loss to Mohun Bagan.
