Preview: FC Goa faces tough challenge against Mumbai City

Mumbai, November 30, 2022: FC Goa may have suffered an unlikely defeat earlier this week at the hands of Bengaluru FC - but the Gaurs will look to put it behind them and bounce back on Thursday, when they lock horns with league-leaders Mumbai City FC at the Mumbai Football Arena.

Currently fifth on the table with 12 points, a win will help Carlos Pena’s men climb to third place. That said, it will not be an easy task to take home all three points against the Islanders, who remain the only unbeaten side in the ISL this season, topping the table with 18 points.

The two teams head into this one on the back of contrasting fortunes, heading into the upcoming clash. While FC Goa have lost two out of their last three matches, Mumbai are on a three-game winning streak.

As a result, the Men in Orange will approach the Islanders with caution, but with full belief in their abilities of beating the best in the league on their day. On the other hand, the latter will be brimming with confidence as they look for their fourth win on the bounce.

The Gaffer Speaks

FC Goa head coach Carlos Pena spoke on the importance of playing without fear and having the right mentality as a football team, ahead of Thursday night’s clash.

“You cannot play football with fear. It’s a game - you may win, lose or draw - but if you play with fear, you’re not going to enjoy the game and give your 100%. I think we have shown that we can stick to our style and identity regardless of our opposition, and let’s see who can take the better advantage of their chances,” he said at the pre-match press conference.

“Mentality is a key aspect for top teams. We had a good start to this season, as compared to last year when the team finished ninth. We see that as a big positive, something which we want to build upon.

“There’s no doubt in the fact that the fight for playoff spots this season will go down to the wire. The ISL is a league where performances on the pitch are not what just matters - how you feel on and off the pitch is also important, as that sets the tone for how you play.

“In that sense, I believe that we have a strong team, brave enough to take on anyone, and we hope to show that on Thursday,” he further added.

The 38-year-old also shared his two cents on the opponents, as he said, “Mumbai City are a strong team. They’ve been consistent with results, which is not surprising because they’ve played under the same coach for over a year now.”

“They have good players, but so do we - and we’re focusing on our strengths and trying to iron out our weaknesses so that we get a positive result.”

The Task Ahead

Mumbai City will pose FC Goa arguably their toughest challenge yet. In addition to their unbeaten run and the subsequent pole position, the Islanders also lead the charts in terms of goals scored (23), goal difference (14), shots per game (16.1), shots on target per game (7.5), chances made per game (8) and number of attacking challenges per game (66 with 47% accuracy).

Des Buckingham’s boys follow a similar style to that of the Gaurs, in terms of keeping the ball and dictating play from the midfield. In Ahmed Jahouh, Alberto Noguera and Lalengmawia Ralte, they have players who can efficiently move the ball to the attacking third, where they have the likes of Greg Stewart, Jorge Pereyra Dias, Lallianzuala Chhangte and Bipin Singh to apply the finishing touches.

Pena and co. hence have their work cut out in terms of defending against the Mumbai-based outfit. With the Men in Orange conceding just 7 in 6 games, this should make for an intriguing battle.

On the other hand, the trio of Noah Sadaoui, Iker Guarrotxena and Brandon Fernandes will look to punish Mumbai for any mishaps with the Gaurs hoping to see Alvaro Vazquez also stride into his higher gears. Hence, come Thursday, their fans would hope to see that happen once again. 

With a number of familiar faces in the mix, a brewing rivalry on the cards and the battle for places in the playoffs starting to heat up, this certainly makes for must-watch viewing this Thursday evening.

About FC Goa

FC Goa is a professional football club based out of Goa that competes in the Indian Super League (ISL). Nicknamed the Gaurs, FC Goa has been one of the most consistently successful teams in the ISL - reaching 4 semi-finals and 2 finals in 8 seasons.

Heading into the 2022-23 season of the HISL, FC Goa holds the record for most wins, most goals, most golden boots and most number of playoff appearances in the history of the competition.

FC Goa became the first team from India to qualify for the league stages of the AFC Champions League in 2021 by virtue of winning the first-ever Hero ISL League Winners Shield in the 2019-20 season. 

The Gaurs trophy cabinet is also adorned by the 2019 Super Cup, the 2018-19 GFA Pro League,  and the 2021 Durand Cup.
