The ISL match between Odisha and Mohammedan is set for their third meeting, with previous encounters ending in goalless draws. Both teams are in poor form; Odisha have struggled at Kalinga Stadium, failing to secure a win in their home games, while Mohammedan seek their first season points having lost all matches. The game is likely to be a low-scoring affair, with under 2.5 goals as a key prediction. While Odisha could make changes in their lineup, Mohammad is expected to adapt as well. This tight contest will be keenly watched for any surprises, especially from the struggling Mohammedan side.

Odisha vs Mohammedan Predictions

Both teams are in poor form, and a low-scoring contest should be on the cards on Friday. Under 2.5 goals is my first pick, while I also have a small stake on Mohammedan to claim their first point of the season.

Both Teams in Poor Form


  • Odisha have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 home matches (ISL)
  • Odisha scored 1 goal or less in 6 of their last 7 matches
  • Mohammedan have seen under 0.5 goals in their last 2 matches against Odisha
  • Mohammedan have seen under 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 7 away matches (ISL)

Odisha and Mohammedan Meet for the Third Time

Odisha and Mohammedan will meet for the third time on Friday. Both of last season's ISL encounters finished goalless.

Odisha Stumble Against Goa

Odisha's slow start to the ISL season showed little sign of improvement in a 3-1 defeat at Goa last week. After an even first half, the Juggernauts collapsed after the break, conceding three times in another Super League setback.

Despite a spirited display, Goa were worthy winners in Margao. The Gaurs posted an xG of 1.78, while Odisha managed just 0.70.

T.G Purushothaman's side have struggled to get going this season. Odisha failed to win five of their first six ISL fixtures, with just five points collected in that period. The hosts sit 11th in the division ahead of this weekend's matchup.

Outside of a surprise 4-1 win at NorthEast, the Juggernauts have lacked quality in the final third. Purushothaman's men scored just three goals in five other ISL encounters. 

Set for their third home game of the 2026 season, Odisha remain winless at Kalinga Stadium. Both games finished deadlocked. 

Mohammedan Still Pointless

Mohammedan make the trip to Kalinga Stadium still searching for their first ISL points of the season. Mehrajuddin Wadoo's side slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Inter Kashi in their most recent runout last weekend. 

The Black Panthers could consider themselves unfortunate not to pick up a point at Ekana Football Stadium. In an evenly-balanced contest, Mohammedan edged the xG (0.71 to 0.67) but were beaten by Mohammed Asif Khan's early strike.

The ISL strugglers have been handed a tough run of fixtures, with five of seven successive defeats coming in away matches. 

Wadoo's men have struggled to make an impact in the final third, scoring just three goals across their seven Super League defeats.

Predicted Lineups and Team News

Odisha (4-2-3-1) Amrinder Singh; Vanlalzuidika, Moirangthem Thoiba Singh, Carlos Delgado, Subham Bhattacharya; Rohit Kumar, Lalthuammawia Puitea; Isak Vanlalruatfela, K Lalrinfela, V. P. Suhair; Rahim Ali.

Odisha boss T.G. Purushothaman is likely to make at least one change to his first XI on Friday. Rahul Kannoly was withdrawn just 33 minutes into last weekend's defeat against Goa, with V. P. Suhair expected to come in after scoring following his introduction.

Mohammedan (4-1-4-1) Padam Chettri; Hira Mondal, Pukhrambam Dinesh Meitei, Gaurav Bora, Zodingliana Ralte; Lalremsanga Fanai; Lalngaihsaka Lalnuntluanga, Amarjit Singh, Makan Winkle Chote, Fardin Ali Molla; Israfil Dewan.

Head coach Wadoo could make a couple of changes to his first XI. Lalngaihsaka Lalnuntluanga is pushing for a start after replacing Yash Chickro at half-time against Inter Kashi, while Fardin Ali Molla could come in for Mahitosh Roy.

Verdict

Both teams lack quality in attack, which should result in a tight and low-scoring ISL contest. Under 2.5 goals stands out as the best pick, while Mohammedan, despite their recent form, can claim a point on Friday.
