FC Goa lost their previous match against ATK Mohun Bagan when Chennaiyin FC drew goalless against NorthEast United FC. There has never been a goalless draw when Chennaiyin FC and FC Goa have met and the match currently holds the record for the most goals scored (66). The two teams have met 17 times in the past, with Goa winning nine times and Chennaiyin FC emerging triumphant seven times.
The Gaurs were not fluent in their last outing and will be eager to turn things around when they face the Marina Machans.
Igor Angulo has been lethal from the start for the hosts, as the Gaurs scored seven times in their last seven games, six of which came from Spaniard. But the defense has left a lot to be desired, especially in set pieces.
FC Goa have conceded six goals in as many games, of which five were from set pieces. However, they have only faced 15 shots on goal, the second-lowest team in the league.
“Our goal is to win. But sometimes you draw and lose, perhaps due to a penalty, ”said Juan Ferrando. His team conceded two late penalties and the Spaniard expressed dissatisfaction with his tendency to give away soft goals.
“We also have to think about the spaces in which we lose the ball and go on to award the penalty. We are not happy to award late penalties. You have to think about what happened before the penalty, “he added.
Chennaiyin FC are not doing better than their opponents. The two-time champions are struggling to score, with only three goals to their name so far. They are in eighth position with five points from five games.
“We want to use our strengths. We need to score goals. We must not be aggressive, but concentrate when we have chances to score. We also have to organize ourselves and stop Goa and we can lead the team to victory, ”said Chennaiyin FC coach Csaba Laszlo.
