The football festival reaches back the beaches of Goa, with the encounter between FC Goa and Jamshedpur FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium of Goa, this Monday. A match that can change the fourth position holder, will certainly prove exciting.
FC Goa had been following the usual custom of conceding many goals and scoring too many.
The Gaurs are still the top scoring team in the ISL with 27 goals but has conceded 17. The Spanish combos that have outshined at the Goan outfit have taken them way forward, executing Sergio Lobera's plans well.
FC Goa is currently placed fourth on the ISL table, with 20 points from 11 games.
Jamshedpur FC had been the show-stealers on numerous occasions. They have remained defensively sound, which has helped the team limit their defeats to one.
With seven draws in the account, Cessar Ferrando would be looking to convert their tight results to wins, to gain promotion in the points table. At present, Jamshedpur FC are fifth in terms of points, with 19 points from 12 games.

FC Goa vs Jamshedpur FC: Predictions
The match is crucial for both the teams as the winner can climb up the points table. Though it is FC Goa who has been the premium goal scorers, it was Jamshedpur FC who won the previous outing, by 4-1.
Hence, it is evident that stats and records can't be trusted upon and the team's form altogether will find the winner. A closely fought match at the Fatorda might see both the teams sharing points if the Gaurs can keep the 'Steel Challenge' restricted.
Predicted Score - FC Goa 1-1 Jamshedpur FC
