ISL 2016: FC Goa Aim to Bounce Back in Home Clash Against FC Pune City

Coming into the match after their loss against NorthEast United FC, FC Goa are now geared up to win their first home match against FC Pune City in the Indian Super League in Goa on Saturday.

Both the teams are looking to bounce back after losing their opening ties. FC Pune City lost 0-1 to Mumbai City FC while FC Goa lost to NorthEast United 0-2 and want to prove themselves with a win on Saturday in front of their passionate home support.

FC Goa Goalkeeper Laxmikant Kattimani who gifted the first goal against NorthEast United will be looking to make amends for his blunder under the bar. The Gaurs will continue to miss Robin Singh, Gregory Arnolin, Luiano Sabrosa and Denzil Franco even as coach Zico is likely to field an aggressive line-up.

Lucio and Raju Gaekwad will continue to play in the central defence. While Romeo Fernandes and Mandar Rao Desai will play on the flanks to give more stability to the attack. Jofre will play the role of playmaker and will play behind the two main attack Rafael Coelho and Reinaldo who was the leading score for his team last season.

Jonathan Lucas, who played last year for FC Goa, will be playing against his former club will play along side with Leny Rodrigues and Bruno Arias which form a strong midfield.

FC Pune City  will continue to miss their coach Antonio Habas tomorrow in the dug out after serving a four match suspension. In the upfront they will be looking upon Jesus Tato and Gustavo Obermans to score after both missed couple of clear scoring chances.
