After a confidence-boosting win over Kerala Blasters, the team is set to face off against <strong>Odisha FC<\/strong> at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi.

His players are looking sharp, competing well across the board. However, the absence of Majcen presents a significant challenge for the squad. The Slovenian striker, known for his leadership on and off the pitch, fractured his jaw in a collision during the final seconds of their victory against Kerala Blasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the setback, Dilmperis remains optimistic. He has expressed confidence in his squad\u2019s ability to step up and fill the void left by Majcen\u2019s absence. \u201cWe should work all together and replace Luka in the field, outside of the field. I trust my players, I trust the experienced players, and also the young ones, that they will manage during these six or eight weeks,\u201d Dilmperis shared during a pre-match press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignleft is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mushaga Bakenga starts \u21aa for Punjab FC&#39;s injured skipper Luka Majcen as Odisha FC have decided to go with a foreign striker partnership \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffb<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IndianFootball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IndianFootball<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/isl11?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#isl11<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LetsFootball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LetsFootball<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PFCOFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PFCOFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1bTjiPGKRk\">pic.twitter.com\/1bTjiPGKRk<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Khel Now (@KhelNow) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KhelNow\/status\/1837125730984996951?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 20, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-683d191545386208b17179a9a141a84b\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Tactical Adjustments and Expectations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This home game against Odisha FC will be crucial for Punjab FC, not only for maintaining momentum but also for adapting to the loss of their captain. Dilmperis has hinted that he isn\u2019t solely focused on one particular style of play, emphasizing the importance of adjusting to the opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent ISL trends suggest that teams are increasingly relying on counter-attacking football, and Dilmperis expects a similar pattern in the upcoming game against Odisha. Both teams have talented players, and the coach predicts a tightly contested match. He expressed his respect for Odisha FC\u2019s head coach, <strong>Sergio Lobera<\/strong>, and acknowledged the quality of their squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI do respect the opposition and their coach. They have a good style of play with talented players, so I guess it\u2019s going to be an interesting game,\u201d Dilmperis stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-209ea8f9df0895641fce0b1ef06517b1\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Can Punjab FC Dictate the Terms?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the home team, Punjab FC will be under pressure to take control of the game. In their previous match, they found success in the final stretch of the second half, but Dilmperis knows that this strategy may not always work. The team will need to dictate the pace from the outset, something that could prove challenging without Majcen leading the charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>Mushaga Bakenga<\/strong>, the experienced Norwegian striker, could be the key to Punjab FC\u2019s attacking prowess. Bakenga struggled to make an impact in the opening game and was eventually substituted for Majcen, who ended up being the difference-maker. But now, Bakenga has another chance to prove himself in front of the home crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Bakenga can find his rhythm and link up effectively with midfielders like <strong>Filip Mrzljak<\/strong> and <strong>Ezequiel Vidal<\/strong>, as well as loanee <strong>Nihal Sudeesh<\/strong> from Kerala Blasters, Punjab FC might just find the edge they need to secure a win. The talent is certainly present, and this squad could turn out to be one of the surprises of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" data-id=\"2468\" src=\"https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/scact.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/scact.webp 800w, https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/scact-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/scact-768x431.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-499d77b4de21725e83ead90e60ea62a4\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Odisha FC\u2019s Search for Redemption<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While Punjab FC is looking to build on their positive start, <strong>Odisha FC<\/strong> is on the hunt for their first win of the season. They have yet to find their footing in the league, and this match presents an opportunity for them to turn things around. Head coach Sergio Lobera will be aiming to exploit Punjab FC\u2019s weakened front line in the absence of Majcen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Odisha FC has plenty of firepower in their ranks, and they are more than capable of pulling off a win. If they can disrupt Punjab FC\u2019s attacking flow and hit on the counter, it could be a long evening for Dilmperis and his men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4a70eaa90f78661fa7c635d59e257500\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1726841277940\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What time is the Punjab FC vs Odisha FC match scheduled?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The match will take place at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi on Thursday at 7:30 PM IST.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1726841287425\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How long will Luka Majcen be out of action?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Luka Majcen is expected to be out for 6-8 weeks after sustaining two fractures to his jaw in the previous match.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1726841297867\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Who could replace Luka Majcen in Punjab FC\u2019s lineup?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Mushaga Bakenga, the experienced Norwegian striker, is likely to lead the line in Majcen\u2019s absence.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1726841309213\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What are the current standings of both teams in ISL 2024-25?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Punjab FC is coming off a win, while Odisha FC is yet to secure their first victory of the season.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1726841319114\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Where can I watch the match live?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The match will be broadcast live on the official ISL broadcasting channels and can also be streamed online via the ISL app and website.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" data-id=\"2467\" src=\"https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Nesc-3.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Nesc-3.webp 800w, https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Nesc-3-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/hoverstud.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Nesc-3-768x431.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5b998b3448d522f9d4fdc10ce06815c5\" style=\"font-size:24px\">Conclusion<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The upcoming clash between <strong>Punjab FC<\/strong> and <strong>Odisha FC<\/strong> promises to be an exciting encounter.
