FC Goa face ATK Mohun Bagan at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, Goa, with the opportunity of moving into the second spot in the ISL standings.
Goa are currently in excellent form, having won three of their last four games. In their last match against Jamshedpur FC, they produced arguably their best performance of the season.
They won 3-0, thanks to a brace from Jorge Ortiz Mendoza. The latter justified coach Juan Ferrando's decision to start him as the lone striker ahead of Igor Angulo.
Goa have 18 points from 11 games so far. ATK Mohun Bagan are two points ahead, having played a game less than the Gaurs.
ATK Mohun Bagan, however, are coming into this match after a loss. In their last game, they lost 1-0 to Mumbai City FC due to a second-half strike from Bartholomew Ogbeche.
