FC Goa vs NorthEast United FC: Team News
FC Goa: FC Goa has a very powerful midfield, and their bench strength is also quite strong. From the previous season, they had Edu Bedia, Alberto Noguera, Brandon Fernandes, Princeton Rebello, Glan Martins, and Alexander Romario Jesuraj. They have talented teenagers Muhammed Nemil, Danstan Fernandes, Nongdamba Naorem, and Christy Davis as substitutes on top of these names. Given how much they enjoy playing with the ball, their power in the middle of the pitch serves them well. But, they need to register goals to prove themselves. FC Goa has won only one match in their last five matches and that came against Chennaiyin. Apart from that, they have drawn three matches against Hyderabad, Odisha and Kerala Blasters. Their only defeat in the past 5 matches was from the hands of ATK Mohun Bagan.
NorthEast United FC: Northeast has the worst road record in the league. They’ve given up 13 goals in only four away games this season, and they’ve yet to pick up a point. They had a great and impressive start to the season, but were quickly faded. NorthEast appear to be weak in almost every area of the field. They concede goals and have an average of three goals every game . The Highlanders must begin winning matches in order to compete at the highest level. To say the least, Khalid Jamil’s club has been inconsistent and has yet to find its stride.
