Indian Super League: East Bengal FC will look to strengthen their push towards the top half of the table when they host Odisha FC in their Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26 match at the PJN Stadium in Fatorda, Goa, on Tuesday. The Red and Gold Brigade showed commendable resilience in their previous outing, playing out a 3-3 draw against Bengaluru FC despite being reduced to 10 men early on.

A victory here would lift East Bengal to fifth with 18 points, level with Jamshedpur FC, who would remain ahead on head-to-head record. Odisha, meanwhile, come into the contest on the back of a 1-2 defeat to Kerala Blasters FC. The Juggernauts currently sit on six points, and a win would see them climb to 12th, overtaking NorthEast United FC.

Following that late setback, Odisha will look to respond quickly, with head coach TG Purushothaman acknowledging the disappointment while emphasising the positives.
