Unstoppable Odisha FC to trouble Sudeva Delhi FC

In the second game of Matchday 14, Sudeva Delhi FC go up against a fluent and in-form Odhisa FC.

Odisha FC have put half a dozen of goals against NorthEast United in their opener. They also had an easy 2-0 win against Kerala Blasters in their last match.

Spanish gaffer Josep Gombau has assembled an efficient squad with Saul Crespo and Isaac Vanmalsawma marshalling the midfield and the forward line of Pedro Martin, Diego Mauricio, Nadhakumar Sekhar and Isak Ralte looks eager and hungry always.

Sudeva on the other hand have drawn two of their games. However they looked better off the side, but that wasn’t fruitful. Coach Chencho Dorji would be depending on flashes of brilliance from Mangku Kuki. He will know though, that that alone might not be enough against a team like Odisha FC.

Kick-off: OFC v Sudeva @ 6.00 pm (Aug 29, 2022)
