Odisha FC to lock horns with ATK Mohun Bagan in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the GMC Stadium, Bambolim on Saturday.  The clash will be nothing less than a final for the Bhubaneswar-based outfit.

Odisha has struggled all season. The team have managed to won just one match, the least by a team, besides conceding 21 goals, which is the second-worst record in the league.  Barring own goals, Odisha have netted just 11 - joint-least by a team. And after a winless run of five games, they will know that anything less than a victory against Bagan could prove to be the final nail in the coffin for their playoff hopes. There will also be additional pressure on the team to deliver after Odisha parted ways with their former head coach and now Gerald Peyton taking charge on an interim basis. The last time the two teams met earlier this season, a goal from Roy Krishna proved to be the difference despite Odisha carving out multiple opportunities and threatening Bagan. 

Peyton said, "In the last six games, we're going to show a positive attitude, a determination to win as many games as possible and take the club forward."He further added, "If you look at nearly all the games we've played, we've been a fraction away (from getting results). It's been one goal in every game and finding that combination to go and win games, I'm sure we are going to find that."
