FC Goa vs Chennaiyin FC: Head-to-Head stats and other numbers you need to know
FC Goa will host two-time champions Chennaiyin FC in Match No. 54 of the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Athletic Stadium in Bambolim, Goa on Saturday.
The Gaurs have yet to win a game under new head coach Derrick Pereira. They sit ninth in the league table with nine points after two wins, three draws and four losses. Following a poor start to the season, the Gaurs will be looking to resuscitate their season as quickly as possible.
Chennaiyin FC, on the other hand, have been a consistent ISL team this season. The Blues are fifth in the table, having scored 14 points thus far. The Marina Machans are coming off a 1-0 victory over Jamshedpur FC.
Valskis, their target man, will also instill some much-needed strength in depth. The club is on a roll and will be hoping for more of the same in their next game.
