The thrilling action continues in the seventh season of the Indian Super League (ISL) as the holders of the ISL League Winners Shield FC Goa take on NorthEast United FC. The match will be held at the Gaurs' home ground Fatorda Stadium behind closed doors, as the tournament carries on inside the bio-bubble ecosystem owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
FC Goa are in the search of their maiden victory in their ISL 2020-21 campaign, having started with a draw and loss in their two matches so far. After mounting a gritty comeback against Bengaluru FC from two goals down to equalize, they lost out by a solitary goal against Mumbai City FC.
Spanish head coach Juan Ferrando will be expecting his side to hit their stride and convert their good performance on the pitch into wins. The Gaurs have been in fine touch all across the park but haven't been able to get the desired results. With their skipper Edu Bedia in top form and a stellar attacking cast around him, we can expect the Goan side to notch up their first win in this year's ISL.
NorthEast United FC are one of the five undefeated sides in the ISL 2020-21 season, having won one and drawn the other of their two matches. They started their campaign with a win over the Mumbai City FC side and followed it up with a 2-2 draw against Kerala Blasters FC.
Head coach Gerard Nus will be happy with his side's spirited performance against the Blasters as they came back from being two goals to clinch a point. The defensive pairing of Benjamin Lambot and Dylan Fox have made their presence felt in the backline. Striker Kwesi Appiah has been on the target in both the matches, whereas Idrissa Sylla struck the equalizer against Kerala Blasters after coming on off the bench.
