The Atletico de Kolkata & Goa managers A. Lopez Habas and S. Lobera Rodriguez are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Indian Super League league table.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Goa have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Atlético de Kolkata form and stats
Atlético de Kolkata have collected 10 points from their Indian Super League home games so far after 3-1-1.
The Atlético de Kolkata fans got no joy from their last match, a Indian Super League game also here: A 0-1 defeat against Kerala Blasters (placed 7th). In the game before, an away victory match versus Mumbai City with a 2-0 scoreline.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Atlético de Kolkata have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 0 Lost 1.
The Atlético de Kolkata manager A. López Habas has got the team scoring with 11 from 5 home games in the league. Atlético de Kolkata are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
