Bengaluru FC Plans To Stay On Top Of The Table

After two thrilling away matches, FC Goa will be finally hosting a home match against the well balanced Bengaluru FC side at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium this evening. Even though, FC Goa registered a win against Chennaiyin FC in their initial match of the season, they failed to maintain the winning streak, as they lost against Mumbai City FC in their second game.

FC Goa will be certainly planning to kick start their home game with a satisfactory victory but they will surely need to put in extra efforts and focus more on their defence to keep the undefeated Bengaluru FC at the bay. There is no denying the fact that Bengaluru FC is one of the most balanced units in the ISL and they have worked hard to secure the top position in the table.

Moreover, Bengaluru FC has also conceded just a single goal in their first two games and even that goal was scored through a spot kick. This implies the strength of Bengaluru FC’s defence, which means that FC Goa strikers will have to up their game and remove unnecessary crosses to overpower the Bengaluru side.

Sergio Lobera, who is the head coach of FC Goa, is pretty much aware of the attacking power of Bengaluru FC too. However, he has promised FC Goa fans that his team will showcase a brilliant game of Football and entertain them to the core. He will most likely go with a 4-4-1-1 formation, which will eventually transform into an attack heavy 4-3-3 formation with Mandar shifting in the wings along with Coro and Lanzarote.

The head coach of Bengaluru FC, Roca will most likely proceed with his winning team combination with the 3-4-3 formation that has worked pretty well for them in the last two encounters. In order to maintain the balance between defence and attack, Roca will be assigning the defensive midfielder role to Khabra.
