17:30 hrs IST: Good evening everyone and welcome to Outlook's live coverage of FC Goa's 2019-20 Indian Super League clash against Odisha FC at the Fatorda Stadium.

The match will see two Spanish gaffers – Sergio Lobera and Josep Gombau – face each other and have similar tactical ideas. The Gaurs are currently second in the league standings with 15 points from eight games, while Odisha are seventh with nine points.

FC Goa have the second-best attacking team this season (15 goals), and will be aiming to destroy Odisha's shaky defence, especially during set-pieces. Lobera will be relying a lot on Hugo Boumous, Brandon Fernandes for the goals. Meanwhile, Ferran Corominas could also return from injury.

Ahead of the match, Lobera said, "I think it is important to keep possession and have the ball as much as possible. We did not have the ball too much in the last few matches. Odisha are playing very well. I saw their matches and they are a good side."

In an abysmal season, Odisha will be missing star midfielder Vinit Rai due to suspension. Gombau will be depending a lot on striker Aridane Santana, who has scored four goals this season. Ahead of the match, he said, "It is important to have the ball against Goa. They like to have the ball and if they do not have it, they will suffer more."

"It is also important that we make not many mistakes as they have the quality to punish us. We have a gameplan. We have worked well. I hope it will be a good game. They will have to work a lot, if they have to beat us," he further added.
