FC Goa Vs Chennaiyin FC Live Streaming Details for ISL 2024/25
An exciting match awaits as FC Goa takes on Chennaiyin FC in the 2024/25 season of the Indian Super League (ISL). The game will be held on Saturday, January 25, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda, starting at 7:30 PM IST.
Current Standings
FC Goa is currently in second place with 30 points from 16 matches, while Chennaiyin FC is in 10th place with 18 points from 17 games. FC Goa has been in decent form recently, winning three of their last five games, and is seven points behind the table-toppers, Mohun Bagan Super Giant, who have 37 points from 17 matches. The recent loss of Jamshedpur FC to Hyderabad FC has eased the pressure on FC Goa, as Jamshedpur (with 28 points) could have displaced them from second place with a win.
For Chennaiyin FC, the path is more straightforward. They are trailing sixth-placed Odisha FC by seven points, having played the same number of games. The team’s form has been inconsistent, with two losses and three draws in their last five games. In fact, their last three encounters have all ended in draws, and manager Owen Coyle will be hoping to turn this streak around in order to start picking up more points. The competition is intensifying, and they can ill afford any more defeats.
Key Players and Team Performance
FC Goa will rely on the in-form Brison Fernandes, who has scored six goals this season and is one of the top Indian scorers in the league, alongside Sunil Chhetri. The Gaurs have scored 30 goals so far, with Armando Sadiku (9 goals) and Borja Herrera (4 goals) playing key roles in the attack.
On the other hand, Chennaiyin FC has netted 23 goals, with Wilmar Jordan Gil (8 goals) leading their offensive charge. However, FC Goa has been more disciplined defensively, conceding just 20 goals compared to Chennaiyin's 27. Goa's defense has been solid in their last three matches, having conceded only twice. Will Chennaiyin be able to break their defense tomorrow?
FC Goa’s Consistency
FC Goa has been unbeaten in their last four meetings with Chennaiyin FC (3 wins, 1 draw). If they avoid defeat in this match, it will be their longest unbeaten streak against Chennaiyin FC in ISL history. Additionally, FC Goa has scored in each of their last 16 games, equaling their longest goal-scoring streak in the competition. A goal in this match would make it a record-breaking 17 consecutive matches with a goal, showcasing the excellent cohesion in their attack.
Chennaiyin FC’s Quest for Consistency
Chennaiyin FC has struggled with consistency recently, as evidenced by their three consecutive draws. If they draw again in this match, it will equal their longest streak of consecutive draws in ISL history (four games in 2014). The team will need to break free from this pattern to start collecting more points and climb higher in the table.
Defensive Improvements
Chennaiyin FC did manage to secure a clean sheet in their last match, ending a four-game streak without one. However, they haven’t had consecutive clean sheets since 2018, a feat they’ll need to repeat if they hope to improve their chances of a positive outcome against FC Goa.
Head-to-Head Record
In 27 encounters between the two teams, FC Goa holds the upper hand with 15 wins, while Chennaiyin FC has won 9 times. There have been 3 draws between the sides.

Manolo Marquez, Head Coach of FC Goa:

Owen Coyle, Head Coach of Chennaiyin FC:
“We are focused on what we want out of this game. You rarely change your defenders, but we have had to do that for a long time. Once we get on a winning streak, we know what we are capable of as a team.”
