FC Goa vs Mohammedan SC Preview

• Competition: Indian Super League (ISL)
• Date: Tuesday, 4th March
• Kick-Off Time: 02:00 PM GMT
• Venue: Fatorda Stadium

FC Goa vs Mohammedan SC will be played at the Fatorda Stadium in the Indian Super League on March 4. This will be the fourth time both teams will lock horns against each other.

The Gaurs missed out on winning the league shield as the Mariners won the league by beating Odisha by 1-0. Just like last season, this time also they failed to win the shield, but they have comfortably qualified for the play-offs this time and will be looking to win the title. Under Manolo Marquez they have been very good and consistent in their performance. As a team, they have performed very well and showed everyone their quality.

Now in their last two league games they will lock horns against two Kolkata based teams. Even though the shield is gone, the Gaurs will look to get six points to finish at a respectable position. Considering they have booked their spot, the coaching staff will look to rotate the players to keep their main players fresh and injury free.

The Black Panthers had a lot of expectations to perform well in their first season in ISL, but things have gone horribly wrong for them. Their squad was not built for the ISL and off the field issues also made their job very difficult. In 22 games, they won only twice, drew six games and lost 14 matches.

Currently with 12 points on the table, they are bottom in the league. Mohammedan SC's first season in ISL is filled with drama and controversy, but they will look to give their fans some happiness in the last two games for sure. In their last game they performed really well and earned a point against the Juggernauts and showed that despite having problems, they are capable of going head-to-head against any team.

Even though they have nothing to achieve anymore for this season, they will look to fight for their pride in the upcoming fixtures. This will be an exciting clash for sure.

FC Goa vs Mohammedan SC Head-to-Head Record

Key Players to Watch in FC Goa vs Mohammedan SC

Brison Fernandes (FC Goa)

Last season Brison failed to impress his manager but this season the story is completely different. He has improved by leaps and bounds and has shown his quality on the pitch.

This season he has scored and provided assists to his teammates and has worked extremely hard for his team. Last season, he was a player who used to come in as a substitute, but this season, he has become a regular starter and has proved his worth. In 22 games he has scored seven goals and provided two assists.

In the last five games, he has taken 11 shots out of which four were on target and made six interceptions as well. Brison has contributed offensively and defensively very well throughout this season and surely he will book his place in the National team very soon.

Florent Ogier (Mohammedan SC)

The Frenchman is the leader of the Black Panthers' defence and has shown his quality on the pitch in every game. Even though defensively Mohammedan has been very poor, Ogier has been positive for them and surely other clubs will be keen on having him next season.

Even though he had some issues with the management, but still on the pitch, and his performance was always top-notch. Without him at the Back Mohammedan, suffered a lot and would not be able to sustain pressure from the opponent team.

With his well-timed tackling and interceptions, he can make a difference on the pitch. Even though he joined the team a bit late, that didn't stop him from shining for his team. Till now he has played 16 games this season and in the last five games he has made six interceptions.

FC Goa vs Mohammedan SC Prediction

This will be the fourth time both teams will face each other, and the second time in the ISL. Quality-wise the Gaurs are the better side, but like last time out, Mohammedan SC don't have the same confidence, and surely they will be facing a big challenge away from home. On the other hand, without any pressure, Marquez's men will be looking to beat the Black Panthers to strengthen their position at the second spot. The Gaurs are the clear favorites to win this fixture.

Predicted Score: FC Goa 2-0 Mohammedan SC
