Bengaluru hold the edge in their previous eight clashes with Goa. The Blues have won four times to Goa's one victory, while there have been three draws.

It was an entertaining 2-2 when the sides met at the start of the season in November. Cleiton Silva and Juanan put Bengaluru 2-0 up before an Igor Angulo double earned Goa a draw.
