FC Goa could be one of the most attacking sides in the ongoing ISL but they lacked in finishing which has put them at the bottom of the league table with four points from six matches. They have won just one match, drawing one and losing four times.
After their first win at home against Delhi Dynamos, a lot was expected from FC Goa in their away match against Kerala Blasters but once again they went down by a solitary goal after creating numerous scoring opportunities.
The return of Santos will help the team to bolster the attack as he has the capacity to score goals from long rangers also.
"My boys have played well in all the matches but when it came to scoring they have failed which have put us at the bottom of table. During practice sessions I try and bring every inch of my experience to show the players what to expect, what can happen, what to avoid so that the team can focus on what they have learnt during training sessions," Zico said.
With two consecutive wins, Mumbai FC are placed fourth with nine points from six matches and a win will put them up the ladder.
Mumbai FC have a balance midfield and a strong defence and a reliable keeper in Subrata Paul. They will be looking for their third successive win to move up the ladder.
