Chennaiyin FC lost their last match against Bengaluru FC and will be looking to pick up some form to remain in the race for a top-four spot. On the other hand, Jamshedpur FC played out a 1-1 draw against Kerala Blasters FC in their last encounter but have been in a scintillating form otherwise and will certainly challenge Chennaiyin FC.
Kerala Blasters rank fifth in the league table with 13 points in eight matches. They are level on points with Jamshedpur FC and a point behind ATK Mohun Bagan in fourth and third position, respectively.
In a game of two halves, the Gaurs saw themselves take the lead thanks to an Ivan Gonzalez goal before being pulled back in the second half when Odisha struck through their Brazilian striker Jonathas.

Cassio Gabriel (3rd), Bipin Singh (17th) Igor Angulo (24th) and substitute Ygor Catatau (70th) were on the scoresheet for Mumbai who now are four points clear at the top with 12 points from five matches.
The Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOL), the international body which provides referees to the English Premier League has come on board as strategic partners in the 'Elite Referee Development Program' project.
Fourteen minutes into the match, Alberto Noguera (14th) scored his first goal of the season with a long-range screamer and gave the Gaurs an early lead.
Greg Stewart scored a fine solo goal in the 41st minute while Bart Ogbeche (56’) found the net after a well worked move at the edge of the box with Joao Victor.
The team has undergone a revamp. Apart from new coach Bozidar Bandovic, CFC have also signed five new foreign players along with some promising Indian talent and will expect to start on a strong note after having secured only three wins in the 2020-21 season.
