Inter Kashi FC vs FC Goa: Preview, Predicted Lineups, Team News | ISL 2026-27
Inter Kashi will play FC Goa at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune on Sunday
With the MG Indian Super League (ISL) 2026-27 season underway, the points table is slowly shaping up. The likes of NorthEast United, East Bengal, and Bengaluru FC have started with a bang. However, FC Goa and Inter Kashi FC are two clubs that will be looking for their first win of this ISL season when they face each other this Sunday.
The Kashi Yoddhas sit bottom of the ISL points table after managing to score only 1 point from their 3 games in the 2026-27 ISL season so far. Inter Kashi have lost 2 out of their 3 games, with their only draw coming against Odisha FC.
FC Goa have had a very disappointing 2026-27 season so far. In their two matches in the 2026-27 ISL, they have drawn both games 1-1. During their 3 games in the 2026-27 AFC Challenge League, The Gaurs lost 2 matches, winning only 1, which meant they were knocked out of the tournament in the group stages.
The Stakes
Catch Every Update, Anytime, Anywhere
Playing their home games at the Balewadi Stadium in Pune this season, Inter Kashi have had a torrid start to their campaign. They lost 2-0 to Kerala Blasters and 5-1 to East Bengal. However, Inter Kashi did pick up a point against Odisha in a 1-1 draw.
Inter Kashi have struggled to find the right tactics for themselves, as they have had multiple phases of great play, but have not been able to convert their chances. The lack of experience and foreigners is starting to affect the team’s performance more and more as the season goes on.
The match against FC Goa will be Kashi’s fourth home game of the season. They will be playing four more games after the FC Goa fixture at the Balewadi Stadium before they travel for away games. Hence they need to make the most of these back-to-back home games to climb up the points table.
FC Goa
The Gaurs drew their opening game 1-1 with Chennaiyin FC, Following which they played in the AFC Challenge League, where they were eliminated in the group stage courtesy of losses to Regar TadAZ and Al-Qadsia.
Despite their 2-1 win against Bangladeshi side, Fortis FC, the Gaurs have more neagtive results than positive. Gouramangi Singh & his team are having a tough time trying to navigate against teams who counter-attack well. The Gaurs conceded most of their open play goals in the AFC Challenge League through counters.
FC Goa resumed their ISL campaign with another 1-1 draw at home to SC Delhi and are currently in the bottom half of the points table with 2 points in 2 games.

Players to Watch
Hitesh Sharma (Inter Kashi)
Since Inter Kashi are playing with an all-Indian squad in the ISL 2026-27 season, the responsibility of creating chances is mainly on Hitesh Sharma. The attacking midfielder has started all three games for his club so far and he seems to be well trusted by head coach Carlos Vaz Pinto.
Hitesh has a 82.5% pass success rate in this season so far, however, he has hardly created any big chances. The 28-year-old will have to step up against FC Goa if Inter Kashi want to get their first win of the campaign.
Fransisco Feuillassier (FC Goa)
While Franchu is yet to hit the heights that he showed while playing for Kerala Blasters last season, the Argentinian has shown signs of what he can do on the pitch. Franchu got assists in the 1-1 draw against SC Delhi and the 2-1 win in the AFC Challenge League against Fortis.
Playing against Inter Kashi, the 28-year-old would be eager to break his goalscoring duck and to help his team get their first win of the campaign.
