ISL: Mumbai City FC vs FC Goa match preview and team news

Mumbai City rounded off their opening league game with a victory against Kerala Blasters before losing to Odisha in front of the home crowd last Thursday. The Islanders were forced to settle for a stalemate against Chennaiyin FC in their last game. They have shown defensive vulnerability, which FC Goa will be looking to pounce on. Mato Grgic, Rowlin Borges and Modou Sougou are all ruled out of this fixture with injuries.

On the other hand, FC Goa have struggled for rhythm in the last couple of games against Bengaluru FC and NorthEast United. They have rarely looked convincing after the victory against Chennaiyin FC in their first game of this campaign. Lobera has the side that can exploit Mumbai City FC's weaknesses and will hope that his players can get the job done against the Islanders. Seiminlen Doungel was sent off in the previous outing against NorthEast United which means the striker will miss the game due to suspension. Edu Bedia is also a doubt for Thursday.
