But when the Indian Super League (ISL) sides lock horns in their opening AFC Cup (south zone) Group D match at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday evening, it will be an unexplored territory for the home side against a team that has enough experience of competing at Asia’s second-tier tournament.
However, with a new-look squad under new coach Sergio Lobera, Odisha will aim to start off their debut continental journey with a statement against the Kolkata giants who are determined to better their previous record in the tournament.
