Hyderabad FC vs Mumbai City FC, Indian Super League 2024-2025, Today Match Prediction

Hyderabad FC vs Mumbai City FC Match Prediction & Analysis

In round 23 of the Indian Super League (ISL), Mumbai City FC travels to Hyderabad to face the hosts at the G.M.C Balayogi Athletic Stadium, hoping to keep their playoff hopes alive. And they’ll be confident about taking down Hyderabad, especially after their hard-fought 1-0 victory in their last encounter against the Nizams. However, they'll need to bounce back quickly from a 3-1 loss to Goa, where Chhangte managed to salvage some pride with a late consolation goal.

Meanwhile, the Nizams may be stuck in the bottom half of the table, but are truly capable of denting the playoff chances of the Islanders. However, their recent outing wasn't successful as they suffered a 3-1 loss to Odisha FC and will be highly motivated to bounce back. 

Current Standings: Hyderabad currently ranks 12th in the points standings, with 16 points, while the visitors are sixth with 31 points.

Head-to-head Record: Mumbai City and Hyderabad FC have faced each other 11 times in the Indian Super League (ISL). Mumbai City has secured four victories, while the Nizams have managed to win twice.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Hyderabad FC Preview

The ISL 2022/23 runner-up has seen a dramatic fall from grace, finishing rock-bottom last season and now struggling at the very bottom again. Once a title contender, they’re now battling to stay afloat—a stunning reversal of fortunes. However, if there’s a silver lining, it’s their improved win tally this season compared to last with four wins compared to the lone win from the last season.Looking ahead to the upcoming clash, the Nizams will back themselves, especially with the home advantage tipping the scales in their favour.

The Gachibowli Stadium has been a fortress lately, with the Nawabs unbeaten in their last four home games. Roaring support from the stands has fuelled their surge, earning them half of their season’s points in this impressive run.

Team News

For the midweek clash, the Nizams will miss the services of Muhammed Rafi, who is suspended due to the accumulation of cards. Meanwhile, Andrei Alba is expected to return and resume his role in the midfield. 

Hyderabad FC Probable XI - Singh (GK) ; Rafi, Sapic, Saji, M Mohammad, Alba, Vanmalswama, Ramhlunchhunga, Rabeeh, Goddard, De Souza Miranda.

Mumbai City FC Preview

The Islanders will enter Wednesday's clash with a lot riding on it, since they are only two points ahead of Odisha FC, who are also vying for a playoff position. However, Mumbai, having played one fewer game, has the opportunity to increase their lead to four points with a win on Wednesday and put the pressure back on Odisha. 

Mumbai City FC have been lighting up the road, chalking up four wins and three draws in their last seven away fixtures. A victory in the upcoming clash would secure their first league double over Hyderabad FC—pushing them to a record 13 doubles in the ISL. Despite a 1-3 setback at home against FC Goa, under Petr Kratky they haven't lost back-to-back and are eager to keep that streak alive. Considering all these factors, it's no surprise the Islanders are the clear favorites heading into this showdown.

HYDERABAD FC vs MUMBAI CITY FC
Winning Prediction

Hyderabad may have shown some recent improvement at home, but their record against Mumbai remains unimpressive, with no wins in their last five meetings. Furthermore, the Islanders have had a good run away from home, as they stand fourth in the list of teams that have tallied the most points on the road. Regardless, it will all come down to how the Islanders handle the pressure, knowing they have something to lose, while the Nizams do not. Clearly, it's Mumbai’s game to lose, and the odds reflect it. Mumbai City FC is at 1.59 to win, while Hyderabad FC is at 4.90, with a draw at 3.80.
