FC Goa vs Mumbai City FC Prediction, Lineups, Injuries and Team News

The Gaurs will host the Islanders for the semi-final fixture of the Super Cup at the JLN Stadium, Fatorda. Both of these sides are very well-known teams in Indian Football, and since ISL's future is still in jeopardy, things are very complicated for both teams right now. These two teams have faced each other in a knockout fixture many times in the past, and have always given fans a lot of joy. We can expect a similar match this time as well.

FC Goa vs Mumbai City FC Preview

The Gaurs played three group matches in which they won twice and lost once. They won against Jamshedpur FC and Inter Kashi quite comfortably, and lost against the Highlanders in the final group game. They are currently playing the AFC Champions League Two, but unfortunately, they haven't been able to get any positive results from these fixtures, as they sit at the bottom of the table.

The Gaurs have won the Super Cup previously, and are aiming to win this Cup once again. Currently, things are very complicated in the Indian Football ecosystem, and surely by winning this competition, a team can at least find a reason to celebrate. The Gaurs will have to be at their best to book a spot in the finals.

On the other hand, the Islanders haven't had the opportunity to play any competitive football after the Group Stage matches of the Super Cup. They did win two group matches, against Sporting Delhi and Kerala Blasters, but lost against Rajasthan United by 1-0. Despite having a depleted squad, Petr Kratky was somehow able to lead the team into the knockout fixture. Lack of competitive football will surely have an impact on the Mumbai City FC players, but still, they can beat the Gaurs. Kratky has a great record against Manolo Marquez, and surely he will be confident going into this match. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.
