Hyderabad FC will take on Bengaluru FC in the fourth game of matchday 3 of the Hero Indian Super League 2022-23 at the G.M.C. Balayogi Athletic Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday, October 22. This game will be the second of a doubleheader, with Mumbai City FC and Jamshedpur FC going head-to-head in the first.
The defending champions have made a solid start to the season, winning and drawing once in their two matches. While their opener against Mumbai City FC was an entertaining 3-3 stalemate, they convincingly beat NorthEast United FC 3-0 in their next outing.
Joao Victor and Halicharan Narzary have been the standout players for the Nizams who will look to register back-to-back wins here.
While Bengaluru have the same number of points as Hyderabad FC, they have been less convincing, especially in the final third. Their win in the opener came through an 87th-minute Alan Costa header from a set-piece.
While they scored early against Chennaiyin FC, they couldn't get a foothold in the game as it ended in a draw. They'll look to sharpen up and get the best out of their talented forward lineup.

Hyderabad FC vs Bengaluru FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
I'm backing Hyderabad FC to deliver a better performance than Bengaluru in this match, with a 7-4 ratio of players in my first suggestion, and a 6-5 in the second.
Manuel Marquez's side look really strong going forward and if they can tighten up at the back a bit, they should become strong contenders for the title once again. We all know Bengaluru FC have the quality, but Simon Grayson may have to find the right system to extract the best out of his players.
Naorem Singh, Halicharan Narzary, Joao Victor, and Bartholomew Ogbeche are the four players I've retained across both the suggestions as I feel they're must-haves. All four of them are also decent captaincy options. However, not owning Roy Krishna could be a risky thing to do and for those who want to play it safe, get Roy in your team. However, I'm content in rotating him with Sunil Chhetri as another suggestion.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Laxmikant Kattimani, Sandesh Jhingan, Chinglensana Singh, Naorem Roshan Singh, Manoj Mohammad, Halicharan Narzary, Joao Victor, Mohamamd Yasir, Sivasakthi Narayanan, Bartholomew Ogbeche, and Sunil Chhetri.
Captain: Joao Victor. Vice-Captain: Naorem Roshan Singh.
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, Nikhil Poojary, Alan Costa, Naorem Roshan Singh, Odei Onaindia, Halicharan Narzary, Joao Victor, Bruno Silva Almeida, Roy Krishna, Bartholomew Ogbeche, and Javier Siverio.
Captain: Bartholomew Ogbeche. Vice-Captain: Roy Krishna.
