ISL 2022-23: FC Goa vs Jamshedpur FC prediction, preview, team news, and more
FC Goa will host Jamshedpur FC for the first match of Matchweek 5 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2022-23 season. The two teams will square off at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa on Thursday, November 3.
The Gaurs lost their last game against Hyderabad FC. Hence, this will serve as a must-win encounter for Carlos Pena's men, who have won their first two games of the 2022-23 season.
Their match against the Nizams was closely contested as the Gaurs fell behind through a Javier Siverio goal. However, Pena's men had the golden opportunity to grab an equalizer after Alvaro Vasquez was fouled inside the box. The Spaniard opted to take the penalty but missed the target.
The Men of Steel, on the other hand, managed a hard-fought match against NorthEast United FC in their previous game. Aidy Boothroyd's men made the breakthrough courtesy of a Peter Hartley header and held onto it, securing an all-important three points. They will be eager to continue on with their current form, in the hopes of adding more wins to their tally.
