New Delhi: FC Goa will look to put their campaign back on track when they take on NorthEast United FC in the Indian Super League clash in Margao on Sunday.
Goa lost their last match against Mumbai City FC.
Goa are sixth in the standings with 19 points from 11 games and a win on the morrow can see them go fourth on the table.
Sergio Lobera’s men have two games in hand over third-placed FC Pune City and have played three games less than fourth-placed Jamshedpur FC, both tied on 22 points.
“At this point in time, if they let me chose between fourth, fifth or sixth having played all the games or be in a position to have games in hand, I would prefer to have games in hand. That gives us an opportunity to climb up the table. I’m sure other coaches will prefer that too,” Lobera said at the pre-match press conference on Saturday.
NorthEast, ninth with 10 points from 11 matches, have lost all hopes of making it to the playoffs. But, they would still want to finish the season on a high. The visitors come into this game at the back of a 1-2 defeat to Bengaluru FC.
