FC Goa vs Chennaiyan FC

Indian Super League

CFC VS FCG MATCH PREVIEW:

FC Goa will play host to Chennaiyan FC in the first leg play-off in the second semi-final of the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) on Saturday.

Chennai finished the league at 2nd place with 32 points, while Goa were just behind them on third with 30 points in 18 games.

But the Gaurs can be termed as the entertainers after dishing out 42 goals during the league stage, and quite remarkably they were also the third worst defensive team after conceding 28 goals in just 18 games.

The leaky defense may create some problems against Chennaiyan FC as if they score first, hosts may find it hard to pierce the visitors’ defense as Chennai possess the league’s second-best defense.

But Goa’s defense has improved of late and after scoring 12 times in their last 3 games, in which they conceded just one, Gaur will be confident enough to outscore their opponents.

The stakes are high and the team that wins this match will, undoubtedly, be seen as the favorites for the final.

INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:

FC Goa have scored most goals this season in ISL. But they are coming up against a side who knows how to defend. But considering this is the first leg and the stakes are high, Goa may just push little hard for the win than the visitors, and that may leave them open at the back.

We are backing a 1-1 scoreline in the first leg.
