FCG vs BFC Dream11 Prediction, Live Score & FC Goa vs Bengaluru FC Football Match Dream Team: Indian Super League

Bengaluru FC and FC Goa go head-to-head in the first Hero ISL fixture of 2020 on Friday. The match is a massive one at the top of the table, with the Gaurs currently sitting at the top with 21 points and the defending champions five points off them in third.

In the reverse fixture between the two outfits earlier in the season, the Gaurs scored from a late spot-kick to share the points and they will now be looking to clinch all three to extend their lead at the top.

Bengaluru FC

The defending champions have been far from perfect so far this season with most of their problems stemming from a lack of ruthlessness in front of goal. With just 11 goals to their name so far, the Blues have the joint third-worst goal-scoring record in the division and are the lowest scorers in the current top four. Their problems are further compounded when they go up against teams near and above them in the table.

While Sergio Lobera’s Goa prevented Sunil Chhetri and Co. from grabbing all three points earlier in the season, Bengaluru’s two defeats so far have come against Mumbai City FC and ATK FC – the other two members of the current top four. Bengaluru, however, have been quite successful against Goa in the recent past, winning four and losing just a single game in the last five meetings between the two. Bengaluru’s home record is equally outstanding and should give them enough confidence going into Friday’s encounter.

FC Goa

After four wins on the trot, the Gaurs go into the fixture with the confidence of coming away with three points. Goals have been flying in for Lobera’s men, who are especially dangerous in the second half of matches. Close to 60% of their goals have come after the restart, with teams eventually tiring out and finding it difficult to pin down Goa’s attackers. This aspect of their game is something Bengaluru will be extra mindful of given they’ve conceded close to 70% of their goals in the last 15 minutes of matches so far this term.

The form of winger Brandon Fernandes has been a big contributor to Goa’s incredible first half of the season. The India international’s tally of two goals and five assists so far is already equal to what he managed in terms of goal contributions throughout the course of last season and is up there with the likes of Roy Krishna and Ferran Corominas as the division’s finest attackers.
