Goa FT vs Delhi prediction 24.12.2024 | India - Santosh Trophy

• Competition: India - Santosh Trophy
• Date: Tuesday, 24th, December 2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
• Venue: Fatorda Stadium (Goa)

Goa FT will host Delhi on the final day of the Santosh Trophy group stage at Fatorda Stadium on Tuesday, aware that only a win will secure their spot in the quarterfinals.

The club based in Fatorda have, to put it mildly, left a disheartening impression during the Santosh Trophy, but despite managing a meager three-point haul from the first four matches, their chances of progression remain alive. Having triumphed in the 2018-19 tournament with a 2-1 win over Chennaiyin FC in the final, FC Goa faced disappointment in their 2019 outing as they faltered in the group stage, and they will now be determined to steer clear of back-to-back early eliminations.

In contrast, Delhi made a strong start in the Santosh Trophy with two wins from their opening matches, but their promising beginning quickly unraveled as they conceded five unanswered goals in defeats to Meghalaya and Kerala FC in their next two group-stage games. With Kerala FC and Meghalaya already sealing their spots in the last-eight round, only two qualification places remain from Group B, and the third-placed Sky Blues will need to avoid anything worse than a one-goal defeat on Tuesday to progress.

Interestingly, it was FC Goa who sent Delhi packing from the Santosh Trophy quarterfinals in their debut appearance, defeating them with a crushing 5-1 scoreline three years ago, so another high-scoring affair could very well be on the cards here. Moreover, the defensive lines of these rivals have been far from optimal, as FC Goa have conceded seven goals in their first four matches, while Delhi have pulled the ball out of their net five times in the last two games of the tournament. Fans at Fatorda Stadium are in for an exciting display of football on Tuesday, as recent H2H encounters between these rivals have been nothing short of thrilling, with both teams finding the back of the net in seven of the last eight meetings. All things considered, we believe there’s plenty of potential for an exciting match full of goals, as FC Goa will unleash all their attacking weapons while Delhi looks to exploit opportunities on the counter.
