After managing to get the first win of their Indian Super League campaign only in the third match, FC Goa will hope to keep their form intact against Odisha FC on Saturday, December 12, at Goa's GMC Stadium in Bambolim. Odisha FC, on the other hand, are still searching for their first win in ISL 2020-21.
After starting their campaign with a strong 2-2 display against Bengaluru FC, the Gaurs went down 1-0 to Mumbai City FC and were held by underdogs NorthEast United FC 1-1. They have since sprung back with a comprehensive 3-1 win over Kerala Blasters last week.
Odisha FC's only solid display came against Jamshedpur FC last month, where the Juggernauts pulled off a 2-2 draw. Apart from that, Odisha FC have lost to Hyderabad FC, ATK Mohun Bagan and Mumbai City FC and sit 11th in the ISL points table.
Saturday will be a good opportunity for Stuart Baxter’s men to bounce back following the underwhelming start to their season. Watch Odisha FC vs FC Goa live.
