FC Goa will entertain Al Nassr at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in the group phase of the AFC Champions League Two on Wednesday. The hosts have lost their two games thus far, while Al-Alami have enjoyed a 100% record in the competition.
The Gaurs were last in action in the Champions League Two against Istiklol earlier this month, and they suffered a 2-0 away loss. After a goalless first half, they conceded twice after the break. They have not opened their goalscoring record in the ongoing campaign.
The visitors extended their winning streak across all competitions to eight games last week with a 5-1 home triumph over Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League. João Félix bagged a hat trick while Cristiano Ronaldo and Kingsley Coman were also on the scoresheet in the second half. In their previous Champions League Two outing, they overcame Al-Zawraa 2-0 earlier this month.
