ISL 2017/18: The battle for qualification 

#6 FC Goa

Coro will look to rise once again and become Goa's hero

The free-flowing FC Goa have looked a shadow of their past in recent games, managing to collect just one point in their previous four games. In fact, they have won just two of their last nine games.

But one thing is for sure, they have something that the other teams do not have. They have four games to play, which is two more than the most of the teams in contention for the playoff spots. And with two of those games against the bottom three sides, six points in those games would mean 26 points.

The other two games are against high-fliers FC Pune City and Jamshedpur FC. But, having beaten Jamshedpur FC earlier this season, they will have the confidence to repeat that feat and take those massive three points which will take them to 29 points. (Excluding the game against FC Pune City)

#7 Mumbai City FC

Alexandre Guimaraes guided Mumbai City to pole position last season.

Mumbai City FC managed to win against ATK to give themselves a fighting chance, as they kept their qualification hopes alive with a 2-1 win.

However, Mumbai City can maximum reach 29 points from now which still might not be enough depending on other results.

What they can do now is hope that the other sides drop points and they win their next fixtures, especially the next two which are against the bottom three sides, NorthEast United & Delhi Dynamos FC and give themselves a chance before they face Chennaiyin FC.
