GAME PREVIEW

Miguel Angel Portugal might not have imagined finding his side in such a position after winning their opener 3-2 against FC Pune City. Delhi Dynamos have lost all three of their games thereafter, a run that includes a 4-1 defeat against Bengaluru FC.

Making matters worse for them is that they haven’t scored in their last two defeats against NorthEast United and Jamshedpur FC which were both played at home. The number of goals (9) they conceded in four games, however, is similar to that of FC Goa.

The Goans’ main concern, as admitted by coach Sergio Lobera too, is that their attacking style of play often leaves the defence vulnerable to counter-attacks which is evident going by the fact they have conceded in every game. In fact, apart from the seven minutes of magic by hat-trick hero Coro against Kerala, Goa have often allowed their opponents to get back in the game.

Coro will be the obvious target to mark for the Delhi defence with the Spaniard already breaking a number of records in the ISL. After scoring the first goal of the season, he also bagged the first hat-trick this term in what is the fastest in the history of the competition.

However, Goa’s actual threat comes from their midfield play starting from Ahmed Jahouh and Edu Bedia while Manuel Lanzarote can also chip in with the goals alongside the capable pair of Mandar Rao Dessai and Brandon Fernandes from the flanks.

It will be interesting to see if Goa’s strategy of outscoring their oppositions for the three points will work against Delhi Dynamos?
