Match number 31 of the Hero Indian Super League sees FC Goa play hosts to Delhi Dynamos at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Goa were having a very decent season before their last match against Jamshedpur FC. Delhi Dynamos on the other hand are coming after a 2-2 draw against the same opponents.
FC Goa have collected 10 points from three wins, one draw and one loss. The team's attack has been top-class, well-praised over most other line-ups. They have scored 15 goals from their five outings and allowed nine including the four at Jamshedpur. If the team gets up well after their first defeat, things will smooth for them against Dynamos.
Delhi Dynamos is a team which needs to realize that draws don't win tournaments. They have played out four draws and three defeats, yet to register the first win of the season. Dynamos is lacking a very needed motive to attack and score goals. The team hasn't scored more than two goals in any single match, and leads taken are given away cheaply. If Josep Gombau manages a solution for secure leads, Dynamos can still make a way back.

Key Players
FC Goa
FC Goa is a team who win games at midfield and their midfield duties are assigned to Edu Bedia. The Spanish born has been very sharp in his passing with 84 percent accuracy this season, without giving away the ball cheaply. This alone makes him Goa's most important player and distribution channel for the attacks.
Delhi Dynamos
Marcos Tebar did a great work for Dynamos against Jamshedpur FC. Being another Spaniard, he will be the best counterpart for Edu Bedia in the Delhi lineup. Tebar too has been on target with most of his passes - something that the team really requires at the situation.
