Having finished bottom of the table last season, Odisha left that behind as they recorded a 3-1 win over Bengaluru in the opening game of the new season.

Javi Hernández scored twice and Aridai Cabrera sealed the win in injury time as coach Kiko Ramírez enjoyed a winning start to his reign.

Aridai Cabrera and Liridon Krasniqi were the overseas players left on the bench against Bengaluru.

They are likely to have bit-part roles again with an unchanged team expected.

East Bengal were no match for rivals ATK Mohun Bagan in the Kolkata Derby on Saturday as they were beaten 3-0.

Manolo Díaz's side conceded all three goals inside the first 23 minutes.

Goalkeeper Arindam Bhattacharja was forced off with injury against ATK and Suvam Sen is on standby to deputise again.

Lalrinliana Hnamte also came off in the first half and could be dropped. Balwant Singh is ruled out with injury.

East Bengal had a nightmare spell on Saturday as they look susceptible at the back. Odisha are tipped to exploit the defensive weaknesses and claim their second win of the campaign. Over 3.5 goals is value.
