TEAMS PREVIEW

Hyderabad FC Preview

Riding high after a thrilling 3-2 win over Jamshedpur and solid back-to-back draws against Goa and Bengaluru, the Nizams entered the NorthEast clash full of confidence and optimism. But football is cruel at times, and their hopes of building momentum took a serious hit as they got hammered by NorthEast with the defence getting exposed badly. 

Regardless, under Shameel Chembakath, Hyderabad FC has shown real fighting spirit and improvement, though inconsistency still lingers. The difference in their play from Week 1 to Week 2 is evident, signaling growth. Now, as they face Mohammedan, the Nizams will settle for nothing less than three points.

Before taking on Mohammedan, Hyderabad FC must iron out a few cracks in their armor to stay on the winning path. Areas of Concern Hyderabad FC's defense is under the scanner after conceding six goals in their last two games. Their biggest concern? Aerial vulnerability. With eight headed goals conceded this season, their struggles in the air have cost them dearly. If they want to finish the season on a high, fixing their aerial woes inside the box is non-negotiable.

Stats that matter

1. Hyderabad have drawn three of their last six games by a margin of 1-1.
2. Hyderabad are unbeaten in their last three games.
3. The Nizams have scored 38% of their goals in the first 15 minutes of a game, which is by the way the highest among all teams this season. 

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

Mohammedan SC Preview

Like Hyderabad, Mohammedan SC also enjoyed a strong run before hitting a rough patch. Barring their heavy defeats to Mohun Bagan and Mumbai City (7-0 combined), they were on a four-game unbeaten streak, including a solid 1-0 win over Bengaluru FC. Their challenge now? Regaining that momentum.

Mohammedan SC has struggled in front of goal this season, and the numbers speak for themselves. With just eight goals—half of Hyderabad’s tally—they have the lowest scoring record. Finding the back of the net remains their biggest challenge. Adding to their troubles, Mohammedan SC will be without midfielder Mirjalol Kasimov, their top tackler with 24 successful challenges. 

Stats that matter

1. Three of their last six games have ended in draws, and gave managed to keep a clean sheet in three of those games.
2. Only once have they scored more than once in a match this season in the ISL.
3. All of their wins have come on the road this season.
4. The Black Panthers have scored just 8 goals thus far with four of those shared between Fanai and Kasimov and they will be without Kasimov on Saturday. 

Mohammedan SC Probable XI -  P Chettri (GK); Zoherlina, Chhakchhuak, Ogier, Ralte, A Singh, Alexis Gomez, Irshad, Singh Sagolsem, Fanai, Franca

HYDERABAD FC vs MOHAMMEDAN SC
Winning Prediction

The last time these two met, Mohammedan endured a nightmare, conceding four goals. Their defensive woes continue, with seven more conceded in their last two games. Despite their struggles, Mohammedan has shown resilience, managing to hold teams to draws and even snatch wins on occasion. However, with Hyderabad’s superior attacking firepower, they head into the clash as clear favorites. As far as the odds are concerned, most betting sites, unsurprisingly, favor Hyderabad for a win, but not by a large margin. Hyderabad FC are tipped to win with odds of 2.25 against Mohammedan's 2.80, with a draw at 3.35.
