Odisha FC (OFC) VS FC Goa (FCG)
OFC vs FCG will square off tonight at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim, Goa.
Goa coach Juan Ferrando has played a 4-3-3 formation in his side’s opening four games with striker Igor Angulo operating between the central areas. Starting Brandon Fernandes in the last two outings was fruitful for the Spanish manager as the Indian international has been lethal with his crossing and has claimed two assists.
Meanwhile, Vinit Rai is still injured for Odisha. However, the improved fitness of Jerry Mawihmingthanga and Marcelinho will be a huge boost for gaffer Stuart Baxter. The team is rooted to the bottom of the table with just one point from four matches. Baxter will be hoping for more goals from his striker Diego Mauricio.
