Predicting the winner of the football match between Delhi FC and Churchill Brothers FC Goa on December 1, 2023, is a challenging task as both teams have demonstrated mixed performances throughout the I-League season. However, by analyzing their recent form, head-to-head records, and overall team strength, we can make an informed prediction.
Delhi FC has had a relatively inconsistent season, with three wins, two draws, and three losses. Their recent form has shown signs of improvement, with two wins in their last three matches. Their strengths lie in their attacking prowess, averaging 1.8 goals per match. However, their defensive lapses have often cost them points.
Churchill Brothers FC Goa has also had an up-and-down season, with three wins, two draws, and four losses. Their recent form has been more steady, with two draws and one win in their last three matches. Their strengths lie in their midfield control and ability to create scoring opportunities. However, their defense has been vulnerable at times.
The two teams have met 10 times in the past, with Delhi FC winning five matches, Churchill Brothers FC Goa winning two, and three matches ending in draws. This suggests that both teams are relatively evenly matched.
Based on the current form and head-to-head record, I predict that the match between Delhi FC and Churchill Brothers FC Goa on December 1, 2023, will be a close and exciting contest. Both teams have the potential to win, but Delhi FC’s recent improvement and home advantage give them a slight edge.

Namdhari Stadium is located in Bhaini Sahib, Ludhiana, Punjab, India. It is the home ground of Namdhari Football Club, a professional football club based in Bhaini Sahib. The club is part of the multi-sports Namdhari Sports Academy and competes in the Punjab State Super League.
Namdhari Football Club was first formed in 1975 as Namdhari XI. In 2004, Namdhari Sports Academy was built in Sri Bhaini Sahib, near Ludhiana. With growing interest in football, the Namdharis established their first football academy in 2018.
The stadium has a capacity of 1,000 spectators. It served as the home stadium for Namdhari FC in its inaugural I-League season. The I-League is the current second division of the Indian football league system.
The Namdhari movement, of which the club is a part, was started by Satguru Ram Singh Ji in April 1857 at Sri Bhaini Sahib. The Namdhari Sikhs, also known as Kukas, played a very prominent role in the political freedom of India from the bondage of the Imperialist British rulers. They hold a unique place in the resistance movement.
The I-League is the men’s second-tier of the Indian football league system. It was founded in 2007 as the successor to the National Football League, with the first season starting in November 2007. The competition was launched as India’s first-ever top-tier professional football league with the aim to increase the player pool for the India national team.
Currently, the I-League is contested by 13 clubs. The winners get promoted to the Indian Super League. The I-League operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the I-League 2. Since the inception of the I-League, a total of seven clubs have been crowned champions. Dempo has won the most titles in league history, being crowned champions three times.
The I-League was formed after the 2006–07 NFL season. The league’s first season consisted of eight teams from the previous NFL campaign and two teams from the 2nd Division to form a 10-team league. The league announced a change in their foreign-player restrictions with the new rule being that all the clubs could sign four foreigners – three non-Asian and one which must be Asian.
