Starting Lineups out!
Bengaluru FC and Odisha FC will lock horns in the second quarterfinal of the 2022 Durand Cup, at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan, on Saturday, searching for a place in the semifinals.
The Blues finished second in the group stage with two wins and two draws, while the Odisha side topped Group D with four wins in as many games.
“Over the course of the group stage, we went up against different teams. Every game we’ve played has been a step up for us, and Saturday’s game against Odisha will be another step in that process. We’ve tried to win all these games, but the bigger picture has been the preparation for the League season that starts in a month’s time,” said Bengaluru FC coach Grayson, speaking to the media on the eve of the game.
Bengaluru began their campaign in Kolkata with a 2-1 win over Jamshedpur, before a convincing 4-0 win over Indian Air Force FT. Draws against FC Goa (2-2) and Mohammedan SC (1-1) saw them finish with eight points in Group A, two behind the Kolkata side.
Odisha has made a host of summer signings, with Michael Soosairaj, Narender Gahlot, Raynier Fernandes (loan from Mumbai City FC), and Lalthuammawia Ralte among the Indian arrivals.
Josep Gombau’s side has six new foreign personnel, having re-acquired the services of Carlos Delgado and Diego Mauricio, alongside Victor Rodrigues, Osama Malik, Pedro Martin, and Saul Crespo.
“Odisha has done very well to win the four games so far. They’re a team that has a few new faces in their squad, but we’ve got to focus on ourselves. While this is a step up in our preparations for the start of the season, I also believe this will be a step up for Odisha in terms of the opposition they’ve faced. We know their strengths and weaknesses and we have to try and make sure that they don’t cause us too much trouble in and out of possession,” added Grayson.
Striker Sunil Chhetri and Sivasakthi Narayanan lead the scoring charts for the Blues with three goals apiece, while Jerry Mawihmingthanga and Crespo have three each for Odisha heading into Saturday’s encounter.
