Mohun Bagan vs Odisha FC Prediction: Mohun Bagan will be eyeing revenge

Mohun Bagan will welcome Odisha FC in Gameweek 9 of the Indian Super League at Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata. The hosts will be eyeing revenge for the AFC group cup defeat against the same opponents eight days back. Who will win? 

Defending champions Mohun Bagan Super Giant aim to maintain their winning streak with a quest for a sixth consecutive victory as they face a formidable Odisha FC in an Indian Super League (ISL) 10 fixture at the Salt Lake Stadium on Wednesday.

Merely eight days after their last encounter, the visiting team returns to the same venue to face the local favorite, whom they previously defeated 5-2 in the AFC Cup group league stage.

Still recovering from one of their most significant recent defeats, Mohun Bagan SG is eager to avenge the loss suffered in the continental tournament while also seeking to continue their record of consecutive wins since the start of the ISL.

Currently positioned third with 15 points from five successive wins, Mohun Bagan has an opportunity to climb further in the standings if they can sustain their winning form, while Odisha FC, currently fourth with 13 points from seven matches, aims to present a strong challenge.

Odisha FC, riding a five-match winning streak across various formats, is steadily evolving into a formidable force under the guidance of Sergio Lobera, the accomplished Spanish coach renowned for his successful tenure with Mumbai City FC.

Demonstrating remarkable dynamism and efficiency, Odisha recently secured a 1-0 victory over Jamshedpur FC in their last ISL match, played at the latter's home ground. The team is poised to rely on its effective combination and tactical shape to once again outplay the host, affirming that their AFC Cup triumph was no mere stroke of luck.

The reigning Super Cup champions, Odisha FC, attribute their consistent improvement to the absence of injuries and adequate rest periods between matches.
