As anticipation builds, FC Goa will face Saudi giants Al Nassr FC in their next AFC Champions League Two Group D encounter on Wednesday, October 22, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (Fatorda Stadium) in Margao, Goa. The match kicks off at 7:15 PM (IST).
After a tough start to their AFC campaign, FC Goa will look to turn their fortunes around at home. The Gaurs, led by coach Manolo Marquez, are coming off a 2-0 defeat against FC Istiklol on October 1. With two losses in two matches, they currently sit at the bottom of Group D.
Despite the odds, Goa’s mix of domestic talents and experienced foreigners like Sandesh Jhingan, Borja Herrera, and Javier Siverio will be key if they are to challenge the star-studded Al Nassr lineup. Fans will be banking on the team’s energy at Fatorda, one of Indian football’s most passionate venues.
Al Nassr’s Dominant Form
On the other side, Al Nassr FC arrive in Goa riding a wave of confidence. The Saudi side, managed by Luis Castro, are unbeaten in their last five matches and recently hammered Al Fateh 5-1 in the Saudi Pro League.
While Cristiano Ronaldo will miss this fixture, the visitors boast a galaxy of stars like Sadio Mané, João Félix, Kingsley Coman, and Iñigo Martínez are all part of the travelling squad to India. With six points from two games, Al Nassr sit comfortably atop Group D and remain favourites to progress.
