#3 FC Goa
The other team apart from Bengaluru FC to finish the mid-season break with 11 matches is FC Goa. Like Bengaluru, they are also in their top form and a knock-out berth is theirs to lose.
To ensure they move into the ISL semis, FC Goa need to consistent. Their coach Sergio Lobera is strong believer of attacking football and the players have shown that on the field. With 27 goals, they are the highest-scoring side of this league.
But the defenders have not given their best. They were thrashed 1-4 against Jamshedpur FC and lost 0-2 to then bottom-placed side FC Pune City, which lowered their confidence. Before the second phase resumes, Lobera has to plug-in some holes to prevent damages.
Goa will face four teams who are among the top six in their remaining matches. Among them, the match against Mumbai City, Bengaluru FC and ATK will be vital. If they produce good results in these fixtures, they will surely finish among the top four.
