NorthEast United vs FC Goa Preview

FC Goa would like to replicate their nine-game unbeaten streak from their Indian Super League (ISL) season but will have to do so without Victor Rodriguez as the Spanish midfielder is out for the season with a leg injury. For the first time in their existence, the Gaurs would finish the first half of the season with a perfect record if they are successful.

The Men in Orange have performed extremely well in a variety of events since head coach Manolo Marquez was hired in June. They advanced to the 2023 Durand Cup semifinals before taking the lead in the ISL standings early in the season.

Although NorthEast United is presently ranked ninth, they have only lost four times in their 11 games played thus far. And as the likes of Jamshedpur FC and Chennaiyin FC recently found out, the Highlanders certainly have the firepower to wreck any opposition on their day-something the Gaurs are already aware of from their last clash against them in the Durand Cup, which finished in a 2-2 tie.
