FCG vs CFC Dream11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

Last season’s beaten finalists FC Goa kick-start the 2019-20 season with a home tilt against Chennaiyin FC with both the teams heading into the new season with new ambitions and hope.

As mentioned, the Gaurs were the runners up last season as they lost 0-1 to Bengaluru FC in the title-decider. But there is a renewed hope within the camp that the team can take the final step this time around. The reason being, unlike other teams in ISL, the Gaurs managed to keep hold of most of their international stars who donned the Goa colours last season, including last season’s golden boot winner Ferran Corominas.

While Chennaiying are looking at the new season with a hope that the team is capable of going all the way this season, or least, the team should be competitive.

Chennaiying entered the last season as defending champion having won the 2017-18 edition. But the Marina Machans hardly played like they were defending the title after accumulating only 9 points from 18 regular-season games.

But despite enduring a very bad season last year, John Gregory is still the manager of the club, which shows that the team management has faith in the Englishman’s ability.
