East Bengal FC
- East Bengal FC have won two and drawn three of their last five Indian Super League 2026 games.

- Youssef Ezzejjari has been in prolific form for the Kolkata team with seven goals in the Indian Super League 2026 to date and he will be a major threat to Odisha FC on Tuesday.
- East Bengal FC have conceded only seven goals in seven home league fixtures this season and can shut out any threat from the visitors, but Odisha FC will look to press them in the wide areas.
- East Bengal FC are undefeated in their last four at home, but have failed to win either of their two home meetings with Odisha FC, so there may be some nerves there to overcome.
Odisha FC
- Odisha FC are having a miserable Indian Super League 2026 campaign so far, currently sitting 13th after collecting only six points from eight games.
- T.G. Purushothaman took over as coach in February 2026 and has instilled a more pragmatic approach to the game, one where the team are likely to sit deep and counter-attack.
- They have struggled to do that on their travels, however, winning only one and losing three of four away fixtures, averaging 1.75 goals conceded and 1.5 scored.
- Rahim Ali leads the club’s scoring charts with two goals in eight league matches while Rahul Kannoly Praveen has netted twice in the last five, so they have some bite in attack.
