Today’s Dream11 Prediction will be for the dream teams Mumbai City FC (MCFC) and FC Goa (FCG) in Indian Super League – 2020-21 on February 8th at GMC Stadium, Bambolim. Among MCFC and FCG, the MCFC team has higher chances to win this match.
Mumbai City FC vs FC Goa Dream11 Preview
Mumbai City FC and FC Goa will lock horns with each other to resume their ISL campaign on Monday.
Both the sides are at the top half of the table and will be eager to pick up a victory when they clash at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim.
Mumbai City FC is at the summit position, with 33 points from 15 matches. However, they have picked up just two victories in their last five matches.
Those wins too came against teams from the bottom half of the table – namely Kerala Blasters and SC East Bengal.
FC Goa, on the other hand, is on an eight-match unbeaten run. However, they have picked up only three victories during this phase, with the remaining five matches ending in a draw.
In the last encounter between the two sides, Mumbai City FC emerged as 1-0 winners. Adam Le Fondre converted his penalty in the dying embers of the game to seal the tie.
Redeem Tlang was shown a straight red card for his two-footed challenge on Hernan Santana.
Mumbai City FC are coming off a brilliant victory over Kerala Blasters
FC by a score of 1-2. They are still standing strong at the top most place
of the league standings and have followed a massively powerful
campaign throughout the season. The club had acquired some quality
players in this season, specially a lot of good players from their
opponents FC Goa, when Goa was dissolved and it surely has given a
positive impact for the club in this season.
FC Goa have had a variable run in the season so far. They are coming
with a four draw streak and might be looking forward to end it. They are
currently residing at the fifth spot with a tally of 22 points and the
momentum that they had gained has surely taken a bit of a hit. They
need to be more serious in this game as they are going to face the heat of
the table toppers.

FC Goa have 7 wins while, Mumbai City FC have 5 wins and 3 of their game were ended in a draw.
