Chennaiyin FC will go against Odisha FC in Gameweek 18 of the Indian Super League at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai. Odisha will look to solidify their place at the top of ISL table. Who will win? 

While Owen Coyle's squad has displayed promise in specific games, they have faced challenges for the majority of this season, experiencing defeats in their last two encounters.

Benefiting from the home-field advantage, the team seeks to create an upset against Odisha FC. Although this presents a substantial challenge, securing a victory would significantly boost the team's morale.

Sergio Lobera's squad presently holds a formidable position in the league with 35 points from 17 matches, comprising 10 victories and five draws. The team has showcased remarkable performance, indicating substantial progress in recent months.

They might also contemplate evaluating their depth of talent and managing playing time for specific individuals to ensure proper preparation for upcoming matches, should the need arise.

Odisha comfortably leads the table, and their recent victory against East Bengal reaffirms their deserving position at the top with only a few matches remaining. On the flip side, Chennaiyin is grappling with a highly disappointing campaign. Even with the home advantage, Chennaiyin may find it challenging to secure any significant result against Odisha.
