Goa has turned on its form in this crucial junction in the ISL. They are sitting in fifth place with 27 points to their name. The Gaurs have not lost in their last four games which is commendable in this all-important final stages. They have not been consistent which will be their main cause of concern. A victory is required to seal off their place in the playoffs and the Goans will look to achieve it as soon as possible. Going against league leaders in Mumbai, will not be a piece of cake but they will have to play their hearts out.
FC Goa's possible lineup
Dheeraj Singh; Aibanbha Dowling, Fares Arnout, Anwar Ali, Sanson Pereira; Edu Bedia, Ayush Dev Chhetri, Brandon Fernandes; Devendra Murgaonkar, Iker Guarrotxena, Noah Sadaoui.
Mumbai City FC Form
Mumbai have been the best team in ISL so far with good performances on both ends of the pitch. They were on an 11-game winning run till the last game where they drew against second-placed Hyderabad. Mumbai is sitting in a comfortable place at the table with 43 points and is yet to lose a game in this year's ISL. If they win this game they will win the ISL Sheild this year. Des Buckingham has urged the team to continue giving their best in the last stages of the tournament and end the league stages on a high.

Phurba Lachenpa; Rahul Bheke, Mehtab Singh, Mourtada Fall, Vignesh Dakshinamurthy; Ahmed Jahouh, Apuia, Alberto Noguera; Lallianzuala Chhangte, Bipin Singh, Pereyra Diaz.

Mumbai were the victors the last time these two sides met in this season's ISL with a scoreline of 4-1. We can expect a similar result on Saturday as well.
