Iker Guarrotxena, Dejan Drazic, Carl McHugh, Armando Sadiku and Sandesh Jhingan are the strongholds for Goa and could trouble Hyderabad in this tie.
Speaking to the media ahead of this game, HFC Head Coach Thangboi Singto said, “FC Goa are a very strong team. They have players with National Team experience and also a bunch of experienced foreigners,” he said.
“They have quality all across the pitch. It will be a tough game and we know we have to be tougher as a team to get anything from the night,” he added.
Coach Thangboi, who went well past the 100 mark on an ISL bench, a couple of seasons ago, saw his side put in a valiant performance away to Mumbai just a couple of days ago.
Stefan Sapic, Alex Saji and Andrei Alba stood tall all night long to keep the score at 1-0 till the end.
Abdul Rabeeh, Ramhlunchhunga and Edmilson Correia will continue the search for their first goals of the season.
