A resurgent FC Pune City will look to continue their winning momentum and stay alive in the competition when they clash with FC Goa in an Indian Super league fixture here Tuesday.
Pune, who made it to the play-offs last season, received a morale boost when they beat Kerala Blasters FC in the previous clash but their chances of qualifying for the play-offs are hanging by a thread with eight points from 11 games.
The hosts now face a trial by fire against a well-rested FC Goa, who are placed at the fourth spot with 17 points.
"FC Goa were top scorers last season and the way they are set up to play, they score a lot of goals. They are an attacking team. We've to deal with their threat and at the same time, we have to pose a threat," said Pune interim coach Pradyum Reddy.
"Sometimes putting the other team on the backfoot is the best way to defend."
