Goa, Nov 5
Excitement and enthusiasm are guaranteed when two in-form teams, lock horns in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Fatorda Stadium on November 6. There are few stronger factors than a confident collective team in football and both these sides seem to possess that after their recent results.
FC Goa will come into this match with renewed confidence after snapping a four-game winless home run with a commanding 3-0 victory over Bengaluru FC. Meanwhile, Punjab FC are in exceptional form, having won four of their opening five games.
Punjab FC are third in the table after 12 points from five games this season – thanks to four victories already, an incredibly positive feat for a team only in their second season in the competition. For the Gaurs, the outcome against the Blues held massive significance, since their campaign required a stimulant boost and they got that courtesy of sweeping aside a team that had barely put a foot wrong in the competition until then.
Punjab FC have won five of their last six Indian Super League games (P6 W5 L1), with the sole loss in this period coming against Bengaluru FC on October 18; indeed, it was the only game in which the Shers failed to find the back of the net in this period.
