Cyclone Dana will work on the minds of the two teams when East Bengal face Odisha FC in the ISL-XI at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday.

An upper-air circulation over the Bay of Bengal is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm over the next two days and lead to heavy rainfall as it is expected to make a landfall over the coastal states of Bengal and Odisha on Thursday.

East Bengal are expected to fly out of Bhubaneswar on Wednesday evening even though sources said they were contemplating preponing their return flight. The team landed in Bhubaneswar on Monday evening.

Winless and without a point after five matches, East Bengal, under new coach Oscar Bruzon, would hope to put up a better show than they offered against Mohun Bagan Super Giant last Saturday.

Odisha FC on the other hand would look to take advantage of the home conditions to bounce back from back-to-back defeats. The Juggernauts sit at the 10th spot with four points from as many matches and East Bengal are last in the 13-team league table.

A duel between these two eastern outfits often produces fireworks and the fans at the home turf of Odisha FCmust be gearing up for an end-to-end battle at the Kalinga Stadium.

Odlsha FC have a lot of confidence to draw from their seven-game unbeaten streak against East Bengal, in which they have struck 23 goals.

With the Calcutta side giving away two goals per match on average in this campaign, it is to be noted that the Juggernauts have struck at least twice in each of their last seven
