TEAM NEWS

Odisha FC

On a historic night in Bhubaneswar, Sergio Lobera's side completed an incredible comeback in their #AFCCup Group Stage campaign beating Bashundhara Kings to progress through to the next stage of the competition.

The Spanish tactician has made it clear that the entire squad is focused on tonight's game and expects a tough outing against Singto's Hyderabad FC.

Diego Mauricio misses out on tonight's fixture due to a suspension he faced earlier in our trip to Kolkata against the Mariners. It will be up to Club Captain Roy Krishna to lead OFC's attack and be a nuisance to the HFC defense.

Mourtada's return to the squad was a major boost to Sergio's options going into the game. The Senegalese center-back's thumping header against Bashundhara was the differentiator resulting in Odisha's progress in the tournament.

"Kalinga is a difficult place to play." concluded a determined Sergio at the pre-match media briefing.

 

Hyderabad FC

The Nawabs come to Bhubaneswar on the back of a stalemate against the Highlanders which was preceded by a defeat to Kerala Blasters FC.

A win in our backyard will be the aim for HFC after starting the new season with a string of unfortunate results. The bottom-placed team will be looking to exploit and test Odisha's resolute defense led by captain Carlos Delgado. 

Vignesh expressed his team's desire to not focus on individual players but to come together collectively and fight for a win in Bhubaneswar.
