After a dominating display of Habas-Ball at home, the Mariners will travel to the Kalinga Stadium once more to play in form table toppers Odisha FC, which is going to be one of those games that will decide the ISL Shield title hopes.
Habas and his boys continue their run of great football since the great win at Fatorda and the last encounter against Northeast United has stamp-padded the total domination at home that what Habas can show with his composed style of play.
The hottest thing to talk about is how Joni Kauko casually 'Spammed' assists to the Mohun Bagan forward line which the whole squad missed dearly. The in-form goal and an assist from Jason Cummings, the screamer from Liston Colaco, fireball from Dimi Petratos and the icy finish of Sahal Abdul Samad made the mariners in a feel of treat. The team is not showing any signs of slowing down and continues to develop even further which can create a nightmare for other teams in the ISL Shield race.

This brings us to Odisha FC, the unstoppable force who have picked up their pieces since the start of the season and seemed to become a giant in the ISL Shield race as they have already knocked Mohun Bagan out of the AFC Cup. The sound tactics by Sergio Lobera and the trust among the players he has already worked with have proven to be lethal for other teams. The in-form forward of Odisha FC with the likes of Diego Mauricio and ex-Mariner Roy Krishna is eating defence in the ISL left and right. In addition to a solid midfield and defensive key players like Fall, Jahouh and Amey, it is looking quite good for Odisha.

Antonio Lopez Habas will still miss Brendan Hamill but the return of Anwar Ali and the rise of local lad Dippendu Biswas is shaping our defence like nothing else. On the other hand, Odisha is going to miss Ahmed Jahouh in this fixture, which will definitely create spaces in their midfield and also they will be more energised as they will be playing a competitive match after two weeks of gap.

The Last encounter with these teams ended in a two-all draw with an Armando Sadiku last-minute screamer, it was a hard-fought draw for Mohun Bagan. But things have certainly changed for the Mariners as they are still developing their form under Habas. Whatever the result will be the Mariners will be on a treat to watch both Spaniard masterminds take on each other.
