Khalid Jamil’s side suffered a tough, late defeat against the Mariners in the semi-finals recently. They will want to turn things around in Odisha but will face a Hyderabad FC side that will settle for nothing less than a win.
The winners of this tie face the winners of the tie between NorthEast United and Mohammedan SC. That game is scheduled at the Kalinga Stadium on the same day in an earlier kick-off.
