Wed Dec 04 15:29:15 UTC 2024: ## Goa Aims for Fifth Straight Win Against Struggling Hyderabad FC

**Hyderabad, December 3, 2024** – FC Goa, currently sixth in the Indian Super League (ISL) table, will face a struggling Hyderabad FC on Wednesday, aiming for a fifth consecutive victory against their opponents. Goa, boasting four wins and three draws from nine matches, will be looking to extend their winning streak against a Hyderabad side that has yet to win at home this season.

Hyderabad FC, currently languishing in 11th place with only seven points from nine games, are desperately seeking a turnaround in their fortunes. Their recent home performance against Odisha FC (0-6 defeat) and away loss to Mumbai City FC (0-1) highlight their current struggles. Coach Thangboi Singto acknowledged the team’s offensive improvements but emphasized the need to create more scoring opportunities. “We have to get the ball more into the opposition’s box,” he stated.

FC Goa’s coach, Manolo Marquez, a former Hyderabad FC champion, urged his team to remain grounded despite their recent success. “We can’t let ourselves get carried away when we win or too down when we lose,” Marquez cautioned, emphasizing a game-by-game approach. A win for Goa would match their longest winning streak against Hyderabad in ISL history. The two teams have a history of close contests, with Goa holding a slight edge in their previous 10 meetings (5 wins, 2 draws, 3 Hyderabad wins). The match promises to be a crucial encounter for both teams as they navigate the ongoing ISL season.
