Buoyant Chennaiyin FC: Odisha FC will kick-start their Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 campaign at home against former champions Chennaiyin FC at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Saturday.

Odisha FC have a superb record against Chennaiyin FC at home in the ISL, winning all of their three home meetings against the Marina Machans. Contrastingly, Chennaiyin FC had a middling start to the campaign last year, winning twice and losing thrice in their first five games and would want to get on a strong footing right from the onset in the current campaign.

Head coach Sergio Lobera has been an ISL veteran, ever since coming to India in 2017. He joined Odisha FC last season and made an instant impact. Under the Spanish tactician’s leadership, they reached the ISL semi-finals for the first time, whilst also reaching the Super Cup final.
