Odisha FC is all set to host FC Goa in an important clash of IFL on Wednesday (29th January,2020). The hosts after four consecutive wins suffered a defeat against Bengaluru in their last match. Odisha is currently sitting at the fourth spot and will look to be in the top four but they dealt a massive blow before kickoff with the news. Aridane Santana, who has been their star performer this season, has been ruled out for the rest of the season. Josep Gombau will have to come up with a new plan in the absence of Santana who was unstoppable in the box.
FC Goa, on the other hand, will enter the field to snatch back the top rank from ATK. They are currently standing at the second spot and a win here will get them back to the top. After a disappointing loss against ATK, Goa came back strongly in their last fixture to sneak a 3-2 win over the Kerala Blasters.
