BFC Vs ODS Dream11 Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Invigorated Odisha find themselves settling into their grove at the ideal time.
As the Indian Super League edges towards its business end in the group stages of the 2019-20 instalment, the clamour for a spot in the revered top 4 has reached its pinnacle. And Odisha have managed to hit their stride at exactly the right moment with the side winning four ties in succession to climb all the way to fourth spot.
And when the club take on third placed Bengaluru today, they’ll be having their opponent’s spot in sight. Today’s encounter is more than just a clash between two stalwarts with the winner going on to consolidate its position in third place and with it move one step closer towards ensuring a berth in the ensuing round.
While Odisha are relentless at the moment, Bengaluru elsewhere have hit a rock at the moment. Their 2-0 defeat to Mumbai City the last time around was a calamitous one, seeing them lose for the second time in the space of four days to see them fall off from the position they occupied in the annuls of the points tally.
“Tomorrow’s match is a very important match. We only have 15 more points to play for and Odisha come here with very good momentum. We have also had very good performances at home, except the loss against Mumbai, so we will fight for three points again,” said Bengaluru’s manager Cuadrat when talking about the importance of the encounter.
Probable Winner
A tie which is going to be determined by the battle between Bengaluru’s defence and Odisha’s attack, we envisage this to be a riveting affair. Both the units are extremely well matched at the moment, something which should see today’s encounter culminate in a point apiece for either setup.
