Odisha FC will take on Lords FA Kochi in their fifth match of Group B of the 2022-23 Indian Women’s League at the Shahibaug Police Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 7 at 4:30pm IST.
After their defeat to Kickstart FC last week, Odisha FC have bounced back with thumping victories over Eastern Sporting Union (4-0) and Churchill Brothers (10-0). Crispin Chettri’s side are currently in third place, level on nine points alongside Kickstart FC and three behind group leaders Sethu FC.
Speaking on the eve of the match, Chettri stressed on the significance of maintaining consistency. “We can’t take any side lightly and want to go with a winning mentality. The most important thing is to play as a team and be consistent,” he said.
On the other hand, things have gone downhill for Lords FA since their opening-day victory over Celtic Queens FC. Nirvan Shah’s side have lost their last three games in a row since then to Sethu FC, CRPF and most recently Kickstart FC on Friday.
Despite Camille Rodriguez’s red-hot form – the Filipina has scored all of her team’s last seven goals – Lords FA have been let down by their defensive frailties, conceding 13 goals in their last three defeats. It’s not going to get any easier for the Kerala side as they meet one of the league’s best attacking units in Odisha FC.
