The Gaurs beat Kerala Blasters FC in their last game to kick-start their 2020-21 campaign while Odisha succumbed to a 2-0 loss to Mumbai City FC in their previous encounter.
The Bhubaneswar-based club have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games. Their head coach Stuart Baxter signed solid defenders like Steven Taylor and Jacob Tratt ahead of the season but Odisha have been unable to keep any clean sheets in their four matches so far. Adding to their defensive woes, Baxter’s side have also conceded three penalties this season.
