TEAMS PREVIEW

Mumbai City FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful

·         One of the three unbeaten teams in the league

·         Only Mohun Bagan have been able to get more league goals from 3 matches

Reasons to be fearful

·         Mumbai are still struggling for the first clean sheet of the season

·         Mumbai have conceded four goals already from three matches

Mumbai City will be delighted with the fantastic start to the season. Only three days have been able to enjoy an unbeaten run after the first three matches with Mumbai City ranking well. Mumbai’s biggest concern after the first three matches will be the lack of clean sheets.

From the first three matches, Mumbai have been able to get six goals but they have also conceded four goals already. A handful of players have been performing very well for Mumbai in the sole effort of the campaign. After having had over 2.5 goals in all three league matches, the expectation for another high-scoring game is quite high.

Star man – Jorge Pereyra Diaz

Jorge Pereyra Diaz has been a crucial player for Mumbai City in the early stages of the season. The 33-year-old managed 11 goals in his 20 league appearances last season. Now, he has already been able to achieve four goals in just three league matches.

Hyderabad FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful

·         Decent head-to-head record against Mumbai City

·         The form of Joseph Knowles

Reasons to be fearful

·         Lack of offensive threat

·         Low confidence within the team

Hyderabad have had a terrible start to the new campaign with three successive losses. Thangboi Singto is a manager under immense pressure as a result. The 49-year-old will be once again under scrutiny for his tactics and team selection if Hyderabad do not get a positive result in the upcoming game.

Hyderabad have been unable to take the chances that have come their way. The team has managed just one goal from the first three matches. If Hyderabad are to avoid keeping themselves at the bottom of the table, a victory in this match will be a priority and this can be picked up only two goals. Only 13% of the matches involving Hyderabad have been clean sheets.

Star man – Joseph Knowles

Joseph Knowles is likely to be the only way for Hyderabad to try and recover from this poor start to the season. Even though the Australian is yet to score for Hyderabad, he has been churning out promising performances. The former Brisbane Roar striker has not managed 5+ goals in his past two seasons and a little amount of confidence can help him rediscover his scoring touch, which saw him get 11 goals in 2022 for Oakleigh Cannons.

MUMBAI CITY FC vs HYDERABAD FC
Winning Prediction

Mumbai City have not managed a win against Hyderabad since December 2020. There is a strong likelihood that this barren run could come to an end in the upcoming game. Mumbai have been doing very well in the final third of the pitch in terms of creating and taking chances.

Hyderabad have struggled quite a lot and they are just one of the two teams yet to win a match this season. A return of just one goal in the three matches also points to the offensive struggles faced by Hyderabad.
