Bengaluru FC and FC Goa will square off in Match No. 101 of the 2020-21 Indian Super League (ISL) at the Fatorda Stadium in Margao, Goa.
The two sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw the last time they met. However, a lot has changed since then. Carles Cuadrat is no longer in charge of Bengaluru FC, while FC Goa have made some smart additions to their squad in the January transfer window.
The sixth-placed Bengaluru FC have just 22 points from 18 matches so far, with only five victories to their name. To qualify for the playoffs, they need to beat both FC Goa and Jamshedpur FC and hope other results go in their favor.
FC Goa have accumulated 27 points from the same number of matches. The Gaurs have emerged victorious six times this season. But their nine draws have forced them to fight for the last playoff spot rather than comfortably sealing a berth beforehand.
