FC Goa will be aiming for a record-breaking fourth consecutive clean sheet as they host Hyderabad FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa today at 7:30 pm IST. The Gaurs are in excellent form, and a win with a clean sheet will see them achieve a historic milestone in the Indian Super League (ISL), marking their first-ever four consecutive shutouts against an opponent. It will also extend their winning streak against Hyderabad FC to four games.
The Gaurs have been on fire this season, sitting third in the league table with 25 points from 13 matches, including seven victories and four draws. They’ve been especially strong at the back, conceding just eight open-play goals this season—the second-best defensive record in the league. If they continue this form, they’ll be looking to make a statement with another strong performance.
In contrast, Hyderabad FC is struggling at the bottom of the table with only eight points from 14 matches. They’re desperate to snap a three-match losing streak on the road, having failed to score in each of those games. The Gaurs will be eager to exploit the visitors’ defensive frailties, with their relentless attacking play already yielding 27 goals in their last 13 matches.
