Mohun Bagan Super Giant:<\/b> FC Goa return to Indian Super League 2026-27 action on Wednesday as they host Sporting Club Delhi, who are searching for their first points after two consecutive defeats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
FC Goa have played just once in the league so far, drawing 1-1 with Chennaiyin FC, and will be eager to rediscover their rhythm after a spell away from domestic action that ended in an exit from the AFC Challenge League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Head coach Gouramangi Singh stressed the importance of returning with a win, insisting his side must show the same intensity, commitment and concentration they expect of themselves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cEvery game is important. Our game against Delhi is particularly important for us. Since we are back now (from Asian competition), we want to start with a win,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Forward Christian \u2018Chiki\u2019 Borrego has been in good scoring form, finding the net in his last four games across competitions. However, the attacker is focused on the team\u2019s results rather than his individual tally.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI prefer scoring goals for getting wins,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sporting Club Delhi, however, will be no pushovers. Their opening two matches have followed a similar pattern: they led Bengaluru FC 2-1 at half-time before losing 3-2, then took a 1-0 lead against Mohun Bagan Super Giant before suffering a 2-1 defeat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite those results, head coach Tomasz Thorez remains confident in his side\u2019s performances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI am very happy with the performance of the team. I think we played a very good game. We repeated what was a very good first-half performance in Bengaluru. We were dangerous and created a lot of chances against a strong opponent, but unfortunately we couldn't score more goals.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Defender Clarence Fernandes acknowledged the need to see games through after SCD let leads slip in both outings. \u201cWe should know how to hold the lead,\u201d he said<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The fixture also marks a return to familiar surroundings for SCD defender Sanatomba Singh Yanglem, who previously represented FC Goa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Gaurs won the sides\u2019 last meeting 1-0 in February, with Dejan Dra\u017ei\u0107 scoring the winner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
