FC Goa come into their fifth match of their campaign at the bottom of the league table. Despite playing attractive and attacking football, results have not gone the way of Zico's team. With only one point in four matches, Goa have an uphill task ahead of them if they are to qualify for a spot in the semi-finals. Delh,i on the other hand, are enjoying a mixed campaign, having played out three draws. They did however, pick up three very impressive points against a hardy Chennaiyin FC defence. Once again, Alessandro Del Piero will be key to his team's chances. Picking up a victory will be vital for both teams in this high octane clash.Narayan Das vs Gustavo dos SantosDas has shown his worth to the FC Goa cause in the campaign so far. A hard worker, Das is capable of running for the entire duration of the game as he bombs up and down the left flank from his left full back position. Adept at defending and attacking with equal ability, Das will have his hands full against Dos Santos. The young Delhi winger scored a brilliant solo goal against Chennaiyin and is knocking on the door for a starting berth. His pace and trickery will most certainly cause problems to Das and his defensive compatriots.Andre Santos vs Hans MulderSantos has been a revelation for the Goa team this season. Easily the standout player for the franchise, Santos has worked hard to help his team but has come up short on all three occasions. His inherent Brazilian heritage and the absence of Robert Pirès make him a dangerous player capable of turning a game on its head and he will want to keep his good form running and get on the score sheet again. Mulder will be the shield for the Delhi defence as he tries to keep out the wily Brazilian. With good positional awareness and the ability to break up attacks, Mulder will be a key figure for the team from the capital city.Gabriel Fernandes vs Shouvik GhoshFernandes has been the only other bright spark for FC Goa so far in this campaign. A pacy winger, Fernandes has the capability to wreak havoc on the opposition defence. His finishing and decision making have let him down and he will want to improve on that aspect of his game to help his team's chances. Ghosh will have the difficult duty of containing the Indian winger and preventing him from taking the ball into the box. Capable of putting in a few tough challenges, Ghosh will look to stop Fernandes' runs into the box.Players to watchFC GoaRanti Martins - The Nigerian has not been able to score so far in the tournament despite the abundance of chances that the Goa midfield creates. Martins is strong in the air and can hold the ball up well for midfielders to make runs into the box and he will want to use this ability to score goals and help his team. The former Dempo striker will be a threat to the Delhi central defenders.Delhi Dynamos FCMads Junker- The big Danish striker has already scored once for the men in orange and will desperately want to increase his goal tally against FC Goa's stuttering defense. With the help of creative outlets like Dos Santos and Del Piero, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the 33 year-old stamp his mark on the Hero Indian Super League.Team SpeakZico (FC Goa head coach): "We don't think of only 11 players who will start, but all 27 of them."Harm van Veldhoven (Delhi Dynamos FC head coach): "All my players are marquee players."
