Tuesday sees a fascinating matchup in the Indian Super League between two teams who find themselves at the wrong end of the table as Northeast United host fellow strugglers Odisha. There is just one place and four points between the teams and both will be looking to kick-start stuttering campaigns with a victory in this contest.

Match Result

The current form table doesn’t make for clever reading as both of these teams have struggled to take points from their last five games. Northeast United have seen a return of five points from their last five games whilst Odisha have garnered just four points from that same time period. The pressure is well and truly on as both teams will need to start picking up victories soon if they are to climb the table.

This could be a match that goes either way but we will give a slight edge to Northeast United here. Odisha's away form has been nothing short of horrendous, Odisha are without a win in any of their away league matches this season. They have the worst away league form in the entire league and we don't see that changing here.

Over 2.5 goals

When it comes to betting the over or under 2.5 goal market, the smart play looks to be on backing the over. In four of the last five head to head contests between the pair we have seen the over 2.5 goal mark exceeded and we think that could be in play again here. Outside of the head to head we have seen both Odisha and Northeast see the over 2.5 goal mark surpassed in three of their last five matches respectively and with both sides struggling to keep clean sheets, we just have to side with the over 2.5 goal barrier being surpassed.

Both teams to score

As we have alluded above – both teams have struggled defensively as of late which is a key indicator as to why both of these teams find themselves at the bottom of the table. Both of these sides have seen both teams score in four of their last five matches respectively and when these sides do lock horns, both teams have found the back of the net in five out of the last six head to head contests. All signs point towards another goal-fest and we will back both teams to score here.
