Bhubaneswar: Odisha FC will look to maintain their 100 per cent record at the Kalinga Stadium when they play hosts to FC Goa here on Wednesday.
Josep Gombau’s side saw their four-match winning streak being brought to a halt in Bengaluru when they went down 3-0 to Bengaluru FC last week. The club has since signed striker Manuel Onwu on-loan from Bengaluru after Aridane Santana was ruled out for the rest of the season. Gombau will hope that the new signing can fill in the shoes of Santana who netted nine goals in 14 matches. Odisha FC are placed fourth on the table and a win would help consolidate their position as the Hero Indian Super League enters its business end. Interestingly, Odisha FC are yet to score a goal in four matches against the top three teams, namely ATK, FC Goa and Bengaluru FC.
Marcos Tebar is expected to miss the tie due to injury while Shubham Sarangi and Carlos Delgado are suspended due to the accumulation of four yellow cards.
On the other hand, Goa have suffered two defeats in their last two matches away from home.
Coach Sergio Lobera will be keen to ensure that his side do not suffer a blip on Wednesday evening. (IANS)
