Jamshedpur FC will host Odisha FC at the JRD Tata Sports Complex on Tuesday in match number 5 of the Indian Super League 2022-23 season. This is set to be the season opener for both teams and none would want to start off with a poor outing. While Jamshedpur FC, who topped the table the last season, would want to start off with a win at their home, it wouldn't be an easy task for the Kalinga Warriors who finished 7th last season.
Before the two teams face off, here is an attempt at predicting the goal scorer and the final score of the match reflecting the winner.
1. Goal Scorer Prediction
Rishi Rajput from Jamshedpur did net a goal in the Durand Cup and remains in contention to find the back of the net once again. From the Odisha team, Saul Crespo and Jerry Mawihmingthanga are the frontrunners to score in this match, having netted thrice each in the Durand Cup.
2. Top Players
Farukh Choudhary can be a revelation this season for Jamshedpur FC. The 25-year-old Indian forward has shown glimpses of his genius but if gets a good start here, this could be the season where he can really elevate his game to the next level. For Odisha, Isaac Vanmalsawma will hold the key. He has been superb in the midfield and Odisha would want him to start off on point on Tuesday.
3. Man of the Match
Jerry Mawihmingthanga is expected to be the Man of the Match.
4. Final Score
Jamshedpur FC 2-2 Odisha FC. Predicting this to be a draw. Jamshedpur has had a superior head-to-head record over Odisha but it might take them some time to settle in after a lot of changes to their squad.
