Match Details
Date- Saturday, March 7
Kick-Off- 7:30 PM (IST)
Venue- Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, Goa
FC Goa
Hugo Boumous and Brandon Fernandes’ absence in the first-leg due to injury didn’t at all work in favour of FC Goa. However, with the midfield duo back in training, both Boumous and Fernandes are expected to straight away be named in the starting eleven. As a result of that, Manvir Singh and Len Doungel will be settling for the bench. Edu Bedia who left for Spain due to personal reasons is also back in the squad which strengthens Clifford Miranda’s options in midfield.
Chennaiyin FC
No injuries or suspension for Owen Coyle as his side. After an underwhelming start to the season, Chennaiyin FC’s resurgence has been one of the hot topics of discussion in the ongoing campaign. With Chennai functioning as a well-oiled machine, the head coach should persist with the same elven that squared off in the 4-1 win in the first-leg. Nerijus Valskis, Andre Schembri and L Chhangte should continue as the front three, with Rafael Crivellaro, E Vansapaul and Anirudh Thapa being prominent options in midfield. Eli Sabi, Lucain Goian, Jerry Lalrinzuala and L Renthlei are likely to be the back four.
