Struggling for form, both Sporting Clube de Goa and Bharat FC will be looking to post an outright victory and avoid relegation when they lock horns in the Hero I-League match at the Nehru Stadium, Fatorda here tomorrow.
A win is important for both the teams as they are lying at the bottom of the table. Bharat FC, who have won against Sporting Clube de Goa at home, have 12 points from 14 matches, and are just a point above Sporting.
Sporting are at the bottom with 11 points from 15 games.
Lot was expected from debutant Bharat FC but they have been inconsistent. The team has won just two games out of the 14 they have played so far.
Sporting, who have one of the best strike forces, have failed to win matches. They have dominated most of the games and even created ample scoring chances but somehow failed to score goals.
It took Sporting 14 matches to score their first win against Salgaocar FC.
Sporting now need to win their remaining five matches to avoid relegation.
"Odafe, who has a niggling injury is a doubtful starter, otherwise all are fit and are eager to give their best and win tomorrow," said Sporting coach Mathew Costa.
