So, this match will be a vital one for both teams in the context of finishing in the top four positions. ATK Mohun Bagan will come to this clash after defeating Jamshedpur FC 1-0 in the last match. While Odisha FC lost against FC Goa by 3-0 in the last game. Now, the ATK Mohun Bagan Head Coach, Juan Ferrando came up with some warnings for his team ahead of the clash.   

“They have very good players and their performance has been very good.” - ATK Mohun Bagan head coach Juan Ferrando 

While speaking in the pre-match press conference, Juan Ferrando said: “Thursday won’t be so easy as these three teams - Hyderabad FC, Mumbai City FC, and Odisha FC - are very strong and their performance has been very good."

“We will be playing away and it’s difficult when you play away because you know the situation and they are a very good team. They have very good players and their performance has been very good. It will be a difficult match. We have prepared a plan (for Odisha FC), I hope we have success because this week is very important for us,” Ferrando added.

“For us, we’re motivated all the time as we want to get the three points. Honestly, I think it’s most important to be at the top of the table at the end of the season. Now, more or less, it’s not really our target. The most important thing is to prepare for the match because it’s not so easy. I hope we get three points. But we will see what will happen because East Bengal FC play against Mumbai City FC and Hyderabad FC play against Bengaluru FC,” Juan Ferrando concluded.
