Wed Nov 06 14:23:30 UTC 2024: ## FC Goa Aim to Climb Ladder Against High-Flying Punjab FC

**MARGAO** – FC Goa will be looking to build on their recent victory over Bengaluru FC as they face Punjab FC in an Indian Super League clash on Wednesday. Both teams are in good form, with Goa coming off a 3-0 win and Punjab winning five out of their last six matches.

Punjab FC currently sits third on the points table with 12 points, while Goa is in seventh place with nine points. The Gaurs have been prolific in front of goal, scoring 12 goals from inside the box this season, led by Armando Sadiku and Borja Herrera.

However, Punjab FC will be looking to exploit any weaknesses in Goa’s backline, which has been less than reliable this season. The Punjab side has been impressive going forward, boasting the highest number of big chances per game in the ISL.

FC Goa head coach Manolo Marquez has urged his players to remain positive despite their current table position, emphasizing that the difference between the top teams and the bottom teams is not as significant as it might seem.

Punjab FC head coach Panagiotis Dilmperis is aware of Goa’s strengths but is confident that his team can impose their style of play on the game. “We will not adapt to them,” Dilmperis said. “We will press them to adapt to us.”

The match promises to be a tight affair, with both teams eager to secure a victory.
