As FC Goa gets ready to face Chennaiyin FC on Thursday, February 16 at the Fatorda Stadium, there is a lot at stake. With two league games remaining, the hosts are under tremendous pressure from their playoff rivals to win. The visitors, on the other hand, cannot mathematically finish in the top six.
Mumbai City FC, who recently won the League Shield, defeated the Gaurs by a score of 3-5 on Saturday. From their eleven previous league attempts, they have only succeeded in crossing the winning line four times. Carlos Pena’s men have struggled greatly with consistency. Additionally, there is no better time to pick up their season than today.
Match details
- Match: Goa vs Chennaiyin
- League : Indian Super League
- Date : February 16, 2023
- Time: 07:30 PM (IST)
- Venue: Fatorda Stadium
prediction:
Marina Machans may suffer a significant setback if Petar Sliskovic and Nasser El-Khayati are left out of the starting eleven. The hosts, on the other hand, will rely heavily on Iker Guarrotxena. Goa’s four-game unbeaten streak was snapped over the weekend by leaders Mumbai City, but their three goals in that game will give them hope. As they take on a Chennaiyin team that won their most recent match for the first time in nine games, they will hope to respond at the first opportunity. They beat East Bengal, but they haven’t won in five road games, so it’s hard to see them building on that rare victory here. Chennaiyin FC beat FC Goa 2-1.
