The first leg of the first semi-final in the 2024-25 ISL Cup will come from the Sri Kanteerava Outdoor Stadium, where Bengaluru FC will be playing host to FC Goa on Wednesday afternoon. The winner of this tie between the Blues and the Gaurs will face either Mohun Bagan or Jamshedpur FC in the grand final on April 12.
When these two last met in the league, they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at this venue, with Bengaluru producing a stunning comeback in the final 20 minutes to claim a share of the spoils from two goals down. However, Goa is the team with the better record in this contest, as they are unbeaten in their last five meetings against this opponent across all competitions, winning three times and drawing twice.
Bookmakers have made the hosts the favourites in this first leg encounter, but by a very slender margin. Let’s get into the key stats at play in this one.

Bengaluru FC - FC Goa: Form Analysis
Bengaluru FC earned their place in the playoffs by finishing in third place in the league standings with 38 points, edging NorthEast United and Jamshedpur, who also ended on the same points tally.
The Blues then produced their biggest-ever playoff victory, beating Mumbai City 5-0 at this venue on Saturday with goals by Suresh Singh Wangjam, Edgar Mendez, Ryan Williams, Sunil Chhetri and Jorge Pereyra Diaz.
The hosts will be fairly confident in their chances of getting a result in this match too, having won three of their last four home games, while maintaining clean sheets in each of those victories.
Bengaluru FC are unbeaten in their last five home games against FC Goa (W1 D3 L0)!
Meanwhile, FC Goa will be making their first ISL Cup appearance this week, having finished second in the regular season behind Mohun Bagan with 48 points from their 24 matches.
The Gaurs ended the season in excellent shape, winning five of their last six games, scoring two or more goals in four of those wins, before conceding a 2-0 loss to the Mariners on the final day.
Over the course of the season, the visitors suffered just two defeats in 12 away games, while winning six and drawing four of the remaining 10. They only failed to score in one match on the road.

Bengaluru FC & FC Goa Squad Analysis
While most of Bengaluru’s praise was heaped on their attacking players in the last match, Gerard Zaragoza took the time to congratulate Gurpreet Singh Sandhu after the win.
The Blues’ shot-stopper made five crucial saves to keep his clean sheet intact against the Islanders over the weekend and will need to be in top form again this weekend.
As is usually the case, all eyes will be on Sunil Chhetri in the attack. The 40-year-old has netted 13 goals this season and is the top scorer in the history of the ISL with 74 top-flight goals.
Chhetri also holds the record for the most goals in ISL playoffs with nine to his name!
FC Goa will look to Iker Guarrotxena to lead their attack against the Blues this week. The 32-year-old Spaniard scored seven goals in the regular season, including four in his last five games.
Carl McHugh was withdrawn at the halftime break in the Gaurs' final match of the season against Mohun Bagan with a knock and is the only injury doubt for the visitors this week.

Our Bengaluru FC vs FC Goa Prediction
While Bengaluru were rampant in their victory over Mumbai City at the weekend, they are likely to find it much tougher to break down Goa’s defence, which only conceded 27 goals during the regular season.
Additionally, given that these two will meet in the second leg over the coming weekend, the visitors may look to prioritise a clean sheet here, which will give them a massive advantage in the reverse fixture. Therefore, our Bengaluru FC vs FC Goa prediction is both teams to score (NO).

Under 2.5
