ISL 2022-23: FC Goa vs Hyderabad FC head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know

FC Goa will be up against the challenge of Hyderabad FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa on Thursday, January 5th.

The Gaurs are currently fifth in the standings, with 19 points to their name. After a promising start to the campaign, Carlos Pena’s men have struggled for consistency. Mistakes at the back have proved costly, but they will hope to further establish their spot in the top six after failing to reach the playoffs last season.

In their previous encounter, FC Goa sustained a 1-2 loss against ATK Mohun Bagan. Although the Gaurs have suffered away from home, they have emerged victorious in four of their five games on their home turf. FCG will look to continue this strong momentum at the Fatorda Stadium.

Hyderabad FC, meanwhile, are in red-hot form, winning their last four games with an aggregate score of 14-2. Their attack has certainly clicked on in recent matches and a win could push the Nizams to the top of the league. They dispatched bottom-placed NorthEast United by six goals to one in their last outing, but FC Goa will prove to be a tough challenge.
