Bhubaneswar: Odisha FC would look to build a winning momentum after their previous match success when they hosted Kerala Blasters FC in their Indian Super League outing here on Thursday.
OFC is coming after beating Jamshedpur FC 2-1, its opening win of the season, whereas Kerala settled for a 1-1 draw versus NorthEast United FC in Guwahati. Odisha head coach Sergio Lobera has had a great outing against the Tuskers to date, winning nine out of his 11 match against the side, possessing a success rate of 82%.
As for Kerala, it has managed only a victory in their eight ISL meetings this year, having conceded goals in all of them, which will indeed be a matter of concern for their head coach Mikael Stahre. Speaking ahead of the match, Lobera conveyed gratitude towards his side for braving through difficult moments. “I am very happy because finally, we got three very important points. And, also the atmosphere on the ground, in the stadium is amazing,” he said.
“Every time more supporters come here, they are pushing us in difficult moments. I am happy for these people.” Meanwhile, Stahre expressed confidence that his team is heading in the right direction. He said his team will play to its strengths in the upcoming games. “I’m not happy, but I’m not extremely unhappy either. We can do much better. We are still solid and taking points,” he noted.
