Central Coast Mariners

The "Sailors" secured four victories in six matches during the group stage, suffering only one defeat in an away match against Terengganu from Malaysia (1-0). In the first playoff match, Central Coast Mariners crushed Cambodian side Phnom Penh Crown 4-0 at their home ground. However, the 1/8 final presented a tougher opponent - the Australian side Macarthur.

The Mariners managed to progress past their opponents only in extra time (3-2), with the regular time ending in a 1-1 draw. They approach the match against the Indian club following an away victory against Newcastle Jets – 1-0. Currently, Mark Jackson's team occupies the second position in the league standings, trailing Wellington Phoenix by three points.

Odisha

The Indian club topped their group, accumulating 12 points from six matches. It's worth noting that Odisha started with two consecutive defeats but managed to turn the tide and win the remaining matches. In the same group as Josep Gombau's team were Maziya, Mohun Bagan, and Bashundhara Kings.

In the Indian Super League, Odisha suffered a defeat in their last away match against Chennaiyin with a score of 1-2. This loss halted Odisha's unbeaten streak in the domestic league, which had lasted for five matches. During this period, the Indian club recorded three victories with two draws. Currently, Odisha continues to lead the league table, although a slip-up against an underdog allowed Mumbai City to catch up with Josep Gombau's team in terms of points.
