FC Goa vs Odisha FC – 3 Battles to watch

FC Goa will be determined to revive winning form as they face bottom-placed Odisha FC in their next outing at the Fatorda Stadium. Having been winless in their last six games, FC Goa is now placed in the 5th place acquiring 24 points from 17 matches. Odisha FC on the other end languishes at the bottom of the table with 9 points from 17 matches. They lost thrice in their last 5 games. When the sides clashed for the first time this season, FC Goa edged past Odisha FC by a solitary goal win.

FootballCounter takes a look at the key players who will have major roles to play in their round fixture:

Igor Angulo vs Steven Taylor 

FC Goa marksman Igor Angulo will impose a major threat against Gerry Peyton’s men. Being placed at the 2nd leading goal-scorer rank with 12 goals this season, the Spaniard scored the only goal against Odisha in their first fixture. Odisha FC defender Steven Taylor will have a major role when the side faces Angulo. The 35-year-old English professional has delivered when required, and also contributed 2 goals for his team.

Glan Martins vs Vinit Rai 

Glan Martins has played an important role for FC Goa. The 26-year-old stamped his authority with a stunning goal against Mumbai City FC. When the sides face each other, it would be an entertaining experience to see how two young Indian midfielders compete against each other. Vinit Rai has played 13 matches this season and displayed consistent performances.

Ivan Gonzalez vs Diego Mauricio

31-year-old Ivan Gonzalez has time and again proved his mettle for the Gaurs. A stout figure at the heart of FC Goa’s defence, he will have an important task against the opponents. Odisha FC’s Diego Mauricio had a considerable season so far. He is one of the top 5 goal scorers with 10 goals to his name. The Brazilian is famous for his robustness and skilful displays. Juan Ferrando’s men will face a major threat in him and Ivan might be bestowed with the responsibility to mark him.
