On a roll with successive wins, FC Goa will look to maintain their winning momentum when they take on a struggling Mumbai City in the Hero Indian Super League at the Nehru Stadium here tomorrow.
With back-to-back wins against Jamshedpur and Kerala Blasters in their last two outings, FC Goa remained among the top four with 19 points from 10 matches, two matches less than leaders Bengaluru Fc who are leading the table with 24 points.
Mumbai City, on the other hand, are placed sixth with 14 points from eleven matches after losing their last three matches.
FC Goa coach Sergio Lobera has hinted that new recruit Mark Sefinos will be playing in tomorrow's match.
"Last time we played against Mumbai City we lost mainly due to our own mistakes but now that the team is playing well and winning matches we expect to win tomorrow to remain among the top four," the coach said.
"We have been playing attacking game and on doing so we all concede goal. We are working hard to keep clean sheet which we are not able to do and the day we are able to do it I will be a happy man," said Lobera.
Mumbai City coach Alexandre Guimaraies said: "Our team was the first team to beat FC Goa and from than on they have been playing attacking game and doing well to be among the top four.
"We tried to control them in that match and are looking forward to do the same tomorrow and come out victors."
When asked if his team has a chance to qualify for the knock out round, Guimaraies said: "Every team has a chance to qualify and from my view there is no too many draws like last years, that is why there is not much difference on points among the top four.
"We have many games to play and if we manage to get full points like we got in the first three rounds we have good chance to finish among the top four.
"We are trying to establish a pattern but due to injuries we are not able to. Some teams like Goa also were in this suitation as we are now but important thing is to keep on fighting and win matches and finish among the top four," he said.
