Odisha has also implemented a number of reforms. The team has added four new foreign players: Mourtada Fall, Ahmed Jahouh, Cy Goddard, and Roy Krishna. The only two foreign players who have remained are Golden Boot winner Diego Mauricio and defender Carlos Delgado.
After losing to Mohun Bagan Super Giant in the AFC Cup opener, Odisha will be eager to get back on the winning track.
Rafael Crivellaro, a former Chennaiyin player who spent the previous season at Jamshedpur FC, has returned to the team. Chennaiyin have also made significant changes in their foreign department, adding six foreign players. The club also lost the services of Anirudh Thapa, who served as captain.
Odisha FC vs Chennaiyin FC: Key Players to Watch
Diego Mauricio (Odisha FC)
The Golden Boot winner from the previous season, Diego Mauricio, will be watched closely by the fans of Odisha FC, who will be hoping that he continues his incredible goal-scoring form this season. Mauricio will be hoping to surpass his goal total from previous season of 12 with the help of players like Ahmed Jahouh and Roy Krishna.
Rafael Crivellaro (Chennaiyin FC)
Rafael Crivellaro, the magician on the field for Chennaiyin FC, must perform at his peak on game day if the team is to come away with all three points. With players like Fall and Jahouh in Odisha, Crivellaro’s outstanding dribbling and creative abilities can crack apart the defence of the opposition. The Magician will need to be at the top of his game.
