Group toppers Odisha FC will take on Hyderabad FC tonight in Manjeri as they will look to seal their spot in the Hero Super Cup semi-finals.

Jamshedpur FC and Bengaluru FC have already qualified for the next stage of the competition which leaves two spots open from Group B and Group D. Head Coach Clifford Miranda has left nothing to chance as he prepares the squad for an intense outing tonight.
 
Odisha FC beat Aizawl FC in their last encounter by a 3-0 scoreline which puts #TheEasternDragons in pole position to qualify if they beat #TheNizams later today.
 
This is what Clifford had to say when asked about the team's confidence going up against HFC:
 

Of course, it helps to not have conceded goals and keep a clean sheet in hindsight considering the goal difference but it is not the only factor involved, for example, the way we attack, the manner in which we defend, and handling pressure situations these all contribute to our overall team confidence going into the game.

 
On winning the last time both teams faced each other in the Hero ISL at the Kalinga Stadium:
 

It is irrelevant to me what happened in Bhubaneswar at the Kalinga. It is a new game for us and we will start from scratch. Both teams will have equal opportunities tonight of winning and going to the next stage. I hope we come out on top and prove what we are capable of as a unit.

 
HOW TO WATCH?

Hyderabad FC vs Odisha FC will be broadcasted live on Sony Ten 2, Sony Ten 2 HD, and live-streamed on FanCode at 8.30 PM IST.
