Odisha FC (OFC) and FC Goa (FCG) will square off in the seventh season of the Indian Super League (ISL 2020-21) at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim, Goa, on Saturday.
Goa coach Juan Ferrando has played a 4-3-3 formation in his side's opening four games with striker Igor Angulo operating between the central areas. Starting Brandon Fernandes in the last two outings was fruitful for the Spanish manager as the Indian international has been lethal with his crossing and has claimed two assists.
