Mumbai (Maharashtra) India : On Thursday, Mumbai City FC and FC Goa will kick off Matchweek 9 of the Indian Super League (ISL), which will include two matches in the 2018-19 and 2020-21 seasons.In the ISL, these two groups have met 20 times.Both teams have won seven games in a row, with six games ending in a draw.Both teams have traditionally been high-scoring outfits, taking the offense to the opposition.
After scoring 23 goals in eight matches, the club now holds the record for the most goals scored in the first eight matches of the ISL.Mumbai City FC has a new record of 22 goals in eight games, which was set by the Gaurs in the 2018-19 season, the same season in which they defeated the Islanders in the semi-finals.Ahmed Jahouh, a midfielder for NorthEast United FC, opened the scoring from the spot in the previous match.The Moroccan was his side's 11th goal scorer this season. As long as we continue to play the same as in the first eight games, I'll be happy with the result.We are strong and will try to win the game, but head coach Des Buckingham said that we are up against a tough Goa side that will try to do the same thing this season and continue to improve.Last week, FC Goa struggled to break their alternate-game winning streak against Bengaluru FC, which they beat for the second time this season.The Gaurs will be aiming to maintain the tradition for another game and finish with three points to cut the Islanders' unbeaten run. FC Goa's first two games have been won, but Alvaro Vazquez has failed to score in either game.So far this season, Noah Wail Sadaoui has scored four goals and led the way for the Gaurs.Our start has been extremely encouraging as compared to last season.We are in a good shape after seven games, but we must do more to improve them. Mumbai is a very solid squad.The Gaurs are six points behind the league leaders but still have a game in hand, as they are their second season under the same coach, he said.
