FC Goa had kicked off their ISL campaign with a 3-2 win over Chennaiyin in Chennai and tomorrow they would look to emulate the feat again at the Nehru Stadium to afloat for a play-off berth.
The Goan side has impressed with their attacking play having scored 29 goals, one less than table toppers Bengaluru FC. But, with their porous defence conceding 25 goals and also not been able to keep a single clean sheet, head coach Sergio Lobera has been a worried man.
Lobera said the next two matches, to be played at home, would be crucial for his side to remain afloat in the tournament.
"We need to win these two matches to keep ourselves in the race for the knockout stage. The important thing is to bring back the confidence of the team and we are working on our mistakes and hopefully we do not repeat the same mistakes and come out victors," Lobera said.
Chennaiyin FC, who have played one match more than FC Goa, have also been inconsistent. They are now at fourth position with 24 points from 14 matches and they would look to make amends for their loss against FC Goa at home.
