Odisha FC will face NorthEast United in the second semi-final of the Hero Super Cup on Saturday, April 22nd, at 7:00 p.m. IST. The match will be played at Manjeri Payyanad Stadium in Kerala. The match will be live telecasted on Sony Sports Channel, and Fancode will stream it live on their app and website.

This ISL season was unsatisfactory for both Odisha and NorthEast United. In the ISL, NorthEast had a terrible record, winning only one of their 20 games. While Odisha, who qualified for the elimination round in sixth place, were still superior, they were unable to advance to the semifinals. In an exceptionally competitive league, both teams have atoned for their mistakes by reaching the semifinals.

Odisha FC moved up from Group B to the semi-finals by defeating Hyderabad FC, the previous year’s ISL winners. The Bhubaneswar squad has persisted through each of its three Group B games and fought to establish the lead in the standings. Odisha FC drew 1-1 with East Bengal FC in their first game before defeating Aizawl FC 3-0 in their subsequent game.

Through the efforts of Jordan Wilmar, NorthEast United FC has advanced to the Hero Super Cup 2023 semifinals. NorthEast United had a miserable Hero ISL season, losing 17 of their 20 games. To start their Hero Super Cup campaign, they suffered a defeat to Chennaiyin FC. However, they returned to the race after defeating Mumbai City FC in the second encounter.

Odisha FC Probable X1: Arminder, Narender Gahlot, Carlos Degado, Osama Malik, Sahil Panwar, Thoiba Singh, Rebello, Victor Rodriguez, Diego Mauricio, Nandhakumar Sekar, Jerry M.

NorthEast United FC Probable X1: Arindam, Hira Mondal, Alisher Kholmurodov, Joe Zoherliana, Gurjinder Kumar, Joseba Beitia, Mohammed Irshad, Emil Benny, Rochharzela, Romain Philippoteaux, and Wilmar Jordan

Match Prediction: NorthEast has just found their form again and is playing as a cohesive unit. However, Odisha feels confident because they are undefeated in the group stage. As a result, it will be a challenging encounter for both sides, but I believe NorthEast will benefit from their just-found form and go to the finals.
