TEAMS PREVIEW

Hyderabad FC Preview

After the Mohun Bagan clash, Hyderabad’s interim coach emphasized tightening the defense and capitalizing on chances—a plan executed brilliantly in their gritty draw against FC Goa. Despite first-half pressure and conceding once, the second half brought chaos as both teams were reduced to 10 men. The highlight? Allan Paulista’s dramatic late equalizer, showcasing Hyderabad’s unyielding resilience, which will keep them in good stead heading into the upcoming games. 

Thanks to a late equalizer, the Nizams earned a crucial point, closing in on 12th-placed Mohammedan SC. Also, it marked the second time in three games that they have salvaged something in the dying minutes of a match. While their winless streak stretches to eight matches, the Nizams proved they can still take the fight to the league’s top contenders.

Bengaluru FC Preview

The Blues have hit a rough patch, suffering back-to-back setbacks in the ISL, with two twin blows in just two weeks. The latest of those defeats came at the hands of bottom-placed Mohammedan SC, who stunned them with a narrow 1-0 victory. Thanks to the defeat, the Blues now find themselves eight points behind leaders Mohun Bagan and, to make matters worse, have dropped to third, overtaken by FC Goa. 

In the post-match press conference, the assistant coach pointed to missed opportunities as the key reason for the defeat. “If we don’t convert our chances, one good free-kick can cost us,” he remarked. Despite creating plenty of chances, he emphasized the need to "recover, analyze, and keep working" until the team starts finishing effectively. "It's a league; we have to carry on and keep pushing," he concluded.
