Bottom-of-the-table FC Goa take on seventh-placed Chennaiyin FC in Match 53 of Hero Indian Super League 2016 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Thursday. Both teams are out of contention for the semi-finals, so they will be playing for pride tomorrow. With 11 points from 13 games, FC Goa will be finishing last this season irrespective of whether or not they win against the Super Machans. Chennaiyin, with 15 points from 13 games, can still hope for a respectful fifth-placed finish. Marco Materazzi’s side come into this match off a painful draw against NorthEast, a match in which they took the lead thrice but still couldn’t get maximum points. Zico’s Goa, on the other hand, come off back-to-back defeats, and the last one, a 5-1 humbling to Delhi Dynamos FC, was especially painful. Having never beaten Chennaiyin at home, they will have to be wary when the defending champions come calling.Head-to-Head: The inaugural season of the Hero ISL witnessed Chennaiyin edge Goa 2-1 at Fatorda before Goa avenged the loss with a 3-1 away win of their own. Hero ISL 2015 saw Chennaiyin rout FC Goa 4-0 at the Gaurs’ den before Goa beat the Super Machans 2-0 in Chennai. Earlier this season, Chennaiyin got their first home win (2-0) against Goa.Form Guide (last five matches):FC Goa: L-W-D-L-LChennaiyin FC: L-W-D-L-DRafael Dumas vs DuduRafael Dumas has been a mainstay in Goa’s fragile defence this season. Although his team has leaked goals in plenty, he has made some important tackles and clearances. He is a tough defender and rarely makes any defensive misjudgements. The Brazilian would have to be at his best while dealing with a quality Chennaiyin forward line.Chennaiyin FC’s Dudu will be high on confidence after his hat-trick against NorthEast and will be looking to get one up over his former employers. He has been a thorn for opposition defences and his four goals amply manifest that. Being quick and having excellent finishing sense, he will want to wreak havoc on the Gaurs on Thursday.Romeo Fernandes vs Raphael AugustoRomeo Fernandes has again been one of the talented youngsters on the pitch this season. The 24-year-old is quick with the ball at his feet and can also dribble with dexterity. He keeps opposition defenders on their toes and the Super Machans will have to be wary of him. With a goal and an assist to his name, he will be keen to prove a point in his last match this season.Chennaiyin FC’s Raphael Augusto has been one of their stand-out midfielders this season. The Brazilian has four assists to his name and pulls the strings well from midfield. His passes are clinical and he also makes important tackles. The 25-year-old is one of the players to watch out for tomorrow.Rafael Coelho vs Jerry LalrinzualaRafael Coelho has been one of the few consistent players for his team this season. With three goals, he is the top-scorer for the Gaurs. He also has an assist to his name. If Goa are to have any chance in this game, the 28-year-old will have to be at the top of his game.Jerry Lalrinzuala has been one of the star emerging players this season. The 18-year-old left-back has caught everyone’s eye with his speed and decisive tackles. He completes his defensive duties efficiently and is also a threat from the left wing while attacking. The young full-back also has two assists to his name, and will be looking to see a lot of the ball come Thursday.Squads:FC Goa: Laxmikanth Kattimani, Subhasish Roy Chowdhury, Sukhdev Patil, Lucio, Debabrata Roy, Denzil Franco, Fulganco Cardozo, Gregory Arnolin, Keenan Almeida, Raju Gaikwad, Sanjay Balmuchu, Joffre, Mandar Rao Dessai, Pratesh Shirodkar, Richarlyson, Romeo Fernandes, Trindade Goncalves, Julio Cesar, Rafael Coelho, Reinaldo, Robin Singh, Luciano Sobrosa, Rafael Dumas / Chennaiyin FC: Karanjit Singh, Pawan Kumar, Duwayne Kerr, Bernard Mendy, Mehrajuddin Wadoo, Eli Sabia, Eder Monterio, Jerry Lalrinzuala, Abhishek Das, John Arne Riise, Baljit Sahni, Hans Mulder, Manuele Blasi, Thoi Singh, Raphael Augusto, Harmanjot Singh Khabra, Dudu Omagbemi, Davide Succi, Maurizio Peluso, Bedashwor Singh, Uttam Rai, Jeje Lalpekhlua, Zakeer Mundampara, Jayesh Rane, Daniel Lalhlimpuia/
