TEAMS PREVIEW

FC Goa Preview

Reasons to be cheerful

• Goa have managed four wins in the last five

• The team has scored seven goals in the last two games

Reasons to be fearful

• Goa have struggled at home against Chennaiyin in recent years

• The team have not been great defensively

Goa look to sustain their third spot and qualify for the play-off knockout stages along with the SAFF Club Championship for the next campaign. The team has done extremely well to rediscover the winning touch after a period of wobble during February. Goa now have better momentum than most teams with only Mumbai City and Mohun Bagan managing more points in the last six matches than Goa. Manolo Marquez will also be pleased about the form shown by players like Sadaoui, but Victor Rodriguez and Sandesh Jhingan are unavailable due to injuries.

Star man – Noah Sadaoui

Noah Sadaoui has been able to continue his excellent conclusion to the campaign after scoring the opener for Goa in the 3-2 victory over Jamshedpur. The 30-year-old has been able to score in four out of the last five Indian Super League matches. Sadaoui has six goals in the last five matches.

Chennaiyin FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful 

• Chennaiyin have registered three consecutive wins

• The team has been able to qualify for the play-off knockout stages

Reasons to be fearful

• The team has not kept a clean sheet in the last five

• The club’s away form still remains very poor

Chennaiyin will be on a high after being able to reach the play-off knockout stages following a spirited run of form in the last few weeks. It was only during February that the club had a very poor patch and were demoted to as low as 10th in the standings. Since then, they have been propelled by a staggering run of four wins in the last five matches – including a success over Mohun Bagan. Coach Owen Coyle has no injury concerns in the squad.

Star man – Jordan Murray

Jordan Murray has had a productive campaign in his second season in the Indian Super League. The Australian has come up with five goals in 19 appearances. Even though he has not scored in the last two games, Murray plays a crucial role leading the line.

FC GOA vs CHENNAIYIN FC
Winning Prediction

Chennaiyin might have pulled off some impressive victories – including a success over Mohun Bagan in the last few weeks. However, they continue to be plagued by poor form on the road. Chennaiyin have suffered a defeat in four out of the last five matches on their travels. Meanwhile, Goa have lost only two games at home all season long. They will be keen to maintain momentum ahead of the big play-offs.
