TEAMS PREVIEW

FC Goa Preview

Reasons to be cheerful

• Goa have picked up five consecutive wins

• The team has scored 18 goals in the last six games

Reasons to be fearful

• Goa have kept only one clean sheet in the last six matches

• The defence is no longer a strength of the team

Goa are one of the teams enjoying excellent momentum in the play-off stages. After having put together five consecutive victories, there is no reason why Goa cannot expect a positive performance in the playoffs. Last season, the club even failed to make it to the top six and coach Manolo Marquez is likely to be very pleased about the performances. Victor Rodriguez and Sandesh Jhingan are unavailable due to injuries.

Star man – Noah Sadaoui

Noah Sadaoui came up with a crucial goal in the play-off matches against Chennaiyin to secure a spot in the semifinals. Over the last few weeks, the 30-year-old has enjoyed exceptional form with five goals in the last four matches.

Mumbai City FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful 

• Mumbai City have had excellent time to prepare for this game

• The team has managed to stay unbeaten in the last six matches against Goa

Reasons to be fearful

• Mumbai have had no action for the last 10 days

• The team finished the regular campaign with a defeat

Mumbai City might have missed out on the top spot in the regular campaign but they have been able to carry very good momentum into the play-offs. The team has had extended time to prepare for the semifinals and they are in a very sweet spot coming into the match. Goa’s last win against Mumbai City was in February 2020. Iker Guarrotxena and Ayush Chhikara are the players missing due to injuries.

Star man – Lallianzuala Chhangte

Lallianzuala Chhangte has enjoyed an outstanding conclusion to the campaign. Even though he has failed to hit the heights of last season when he managed 10 goals in 22 regular-season matches, the 26-year-old will still be happy with the return of seven goals. He has now scored in three consecutive league matches for Mumbai City.

FC GOA vs MUMBAI CITY FC
Winning Prediction

Mumbai City have had an excellent time preparing for this game but Goa have better momentum coming into the game. Goa, though, have had troubles concerning getting the better of Mumbai City in recent years. Mumbai have been defensively much better and this has been a problem for Goa even if they have been scoring goals.
