MARGAO: A home fixture has been a thing of comfort for FC Goa this season – having won four of their five games so far this season at Fatorda. Carlos Pena’s men will look to feed off those results and take all three points when they clash against Hyderabad FC in their next assignment on Thursday.
And with the business end of the season now in sight, a win would be a shot in the arm for the Gaurs as they look to get back into the playoffs this season.
While the Gaurs’ home record under head coach Carlos Pena has been impressive, they have struggled to maintain consistency overall, as evident from recent results. Hyderabad, meanwhile, are on a four-game winning streak and would look to add more points to their tally.
They will also derive inspiration from the 1-0 win in the reverse fixture in October, when a first-half strike from Javier Siverio made the difference between both sides.
FC Goa’s three-match unbeaten run in December 2022 was brought to a halt last week by ATKMB. Despite the setback, head coach Carlos Pena stressed on the fact that the team remains on track for a good season.
