Delhi Dynamos FC host FC Goa on Matchday 56 of the 2015 Hero Indian Super League at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. Sunday’s encounter between these two sides who have already secured qualification for the semi-finals will also be the last game of the league stage. Both the sides have taken 22 points from their opening 13 encounters but Goa sit higher on the league table, thanks to a superior goal-difference. Atlético de Kolkata currently sit at the summit of the league with 23 points from their 14 matches. Delhi and Goa will both need a win to top the table in what is set to be a battle for top spot. A draw, however, will see ATK clinch first spot owing to a better goal difference over Goa and Delhi.Form Guide (Last 5 matches)Delhi Dynamos FC so far: D-W-L-W-DFC Goa so far: D-W-L-D-WHead-to-Head: FC Goa won both fixtures between these two sides last season with an aggregate score of 6-2. The Gaurs also beat the Lions 2-0 earlier this season.John Arne Riise vs ReinaldoJohn Arne Riise has been the cornerstone of Delhi Dynamos FC’s defence this season. The Norwegian has missed just one game for the Lions all season due to suspension and has been a picture of calmness at heart of Delhi’s defence with a passing accuracy of 91%. He has also contributed in attack by scoring a goal and providing an assist.Reinaldo has been in spectacular form since his return from injury. The Brazilian frontman has scored four out of his seven goals since his return from the treatment table and has also contributed two assists for the Gaurs. Reinaldo’s physicality and eye for a goal is set to have a major say in the eventual outcome of the game.Florent Malouda vs Leo MouraThe game is likely to be won in midfield with both sides possessing influential individuals at the centre of the park. Malouda’s eye for a pass has seen him provide seven assists for the Lions this year. The experienced French midfielder also does his bit of tracking back and he also gets his foot stuck in as his 35 tackles this season suggest.Leo Moura has been one of the most influential players of the 2015 Hero ISL this season. The veteran Brazilian has been at the centre of everything good for the Gaurs this year. Moura has scored twice and made the most number of assists by any player in the 2015 Hero ISL so far (8). He has also completed the most number of passes in the league (724) and has made 36 tackles from Goa’s engine room.Robin Singh vs Gregory ArnolinRobin Singh will be keen to get back on the pitch after being rested by Delhi Dynamos FC’s marquee player-cum-coach Roberto Carlos in their last match against NorthEast United FC. The Indian frontman has been a focal point in attack for the Lions all season and has scored his three goals at crucial junctures. Singh’s aerial ability and lethal left-foot makes him a key individual.Gregory Arnolin seems to have developed a healthy understanding with Lucio in what appears to be a strong Goa backline with plenty of experience. Arnolin has made 41 tackles and has completed the most number of clearances by any Goan player (99). The Frenchman also has a passing accuracy of 89% which is the best among the FC Goa players.Quotes:I appreciate everything we've done so far but now is the most important part of the season, and until I reach the objective of winning the ISL with Delhi Dynamos I will not be happy.
