Indian Super League (ISL) side FC Goa will face Persian Gulf Pro League (PGPL) club Persepolis FC in their fourth AFC Champions League (ACL) fixture tonight.
Persepolis are on top of the group, having won all their matches so far. On the other hand, FC Goa has also outdone everyone by staying unbeaten in the first two matches but fell short in their last match against the same opponent by a 2-1 margin.
The Iranian giants Persepolis were the runners-up in the 2020 edition of the AFC Champions League and are among the favourites to win the continental competition this season. However, FC Goa is expected to give a tough fight, despite missing their captain Edu Bedia in the midfield. Even if they come out with a draw, it’ll be a huge win for Indian football.
