TEAMS PREVIEW

Hyderabad FC Preview

Thangboi Singto was delighted with his team’s performance after they humiliated the Black Panthers in front of their home fans. Even though there were a lot of individual mistakes which caused this humiliation to the home side, credit to the Nizams for taking those opportunities and converting them into goals. 

Now facing the mariners at home will surely be a challenge but Singto’s men will be confident going into this match to get a good result. Nizams haven’t won a home game for a long time and will look to make their fans happy. They don’t have any injury concerns and will have all players available for the match. 

Key Player to Watch: (Stephan Sapic)- He is a player who is new to the league and this is his first season with the Nizams in just three matches he has helped the Hyderabad FC’s defence to improve leaps and bounds. With his towering presence, he can beat players in the air and is also a big set-piece threat to the opponents. Sapic is good on the ball and is a leader at the back. His role and performance at the back will be important for the Nizam's against the Mariners. 

Stats That Matter: Hyderabad FC have an average ball possession of 43.8% which is not a good number for a team which likes to play possession-based football. They take 11.4 shots per game which is the second lowest in the league and 4.2 corners per game. 

Till now they have scored five goals out of which four goals were scored in the last match, Allan Paulista scored twice, Sapic once, Goddard once and Shrivas with one goal. On the defensive side, they have made 21.2 clearances per game which is the second highest in the league and 3.6 saves per game. The Nizams win 15 tackles and 9.0 interceptions per game. 

Hyderabad FC Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1): L Jongte (GK); M Rafi, A Saji, S Sapic, P Shrivas (Defenders); A Alba, Isaac; A Rabeeh, C Goddard, Ramhlunchhunga (Midfielders); A Miranda

ATK Mohun Bagan Preview

The Mariners are delighted after the win over Mohammedan SC and East Bengal FC. They are much better in attack as well as in defence which was a big concern in previous matches. Jose Molina was happy with the results but wants more from his players in the upcoming fixtures. The Mariners have a lot of expectations this season and will look to make their fans happy with their consistent performance. 

Hyderabad FC will be no pushover for the Mariners for sure. The Nizams have improved a lot as compared to last season and will definitely make things difficult for them. The away team have no injury concerns and all players will be travelling to Hyderabad FC.   

Key Player to Watch: (Greg Stewart) - The Scottish player’s main reason for joining the Mariners was to win trophies; with their squad, they are surely the favourites to win. Stewart has already adapted to his new club and his partnership with Australian Jamie Maclaren is looking lethal on the pitch. 

His understanding of his teammates is really good and with the combinations of play, he can beat defenders very easily. Nizams will face a tough task to stop him and his performance will be important for mariners to get a good result. He is someone who can score, create and do all kinds of stuff himself. Stewart is probably one of the best foreign players ever to play in the ISL.  

Stats That Matter - The Mariners have an average ball possession of 52.6%. They have taken 16.6 shots per game and have won 7.2 corners per game which is the highest in the league. They have scored 10 goals till now out of which MacLaren and Bose have scored two goals, and Stewart has scored once. On the defensive side, they have made 15.8 clearances per game and 3.2 saves per game. The Mariners have won 16 tackles and 11.0 interceptions per game. 

Mohun Bagan Super Giant Starting Lineup (4-4-1-1): V Kaith (GK); A Rai, T Aldred, A Rodriguez, S Bose (Defenders); M Singh, L Ralte, A Thapa, L Colaco (Midfielders); G Stewart; J Maclaren (Forward)

HYDERABAD FC vs ATK MOHUN BAGAN
Winning Prediction

Despite being the away team, the Mariners are favorites to win this fixture. The home team has brought in new players and is playing good football, but overall, the Kolkata team is a much better side in terms of quality. Most likely, the away team will win and claim all three points. 

The Mariners have scored 10 goals in the league so far and are one of the best attacking teams in the ISL. On the other hand, the Nizams have only scored five goals, the third-lowest tally among all teams. Additionally, the Mariners' defense has improved significantly since Molina started fielding two foreign center-backs. 

Hyderabad FC showed their goal-scoring ability in their last match, but scoring against the Mariners will undoubtedly be a challenging task. Mohun Bagan possesses a wealth of talent in every position and will undoubtedly make things difficult for the home team, aiming for a positive result.
