Hyderabad FC and Kerala Blasters FC lock horns in the penultimate match of Matchweek 7 of the Hero Indian Super League 22/23 on Saturday, November 19, at the G.M.C. Balayogi Athletic Stadium in Hyderabad.
Hyderabad have proven impossible to beat so far this season, and have put up some really dominating defensive performances. That was on show in their last outing where they beat Jamshedpur FC 1-0 in front of their home fans.
Meanwhile, Kerala Blasters' upturn in form continued with a 3-1 win over FC Goa. A complete team effort, including goals from Adrian Luna, Dimitrios Diamantakos, and Ivan Kaliuzhnyi, sealed the two points for the Blasters, with Rahul KP also putting in a solid shift up front.

Hyderabad FC vs Kerala Blasters FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Considering the form the two sides are in coming into this game and the attacking quality they possess, we should have a goal-fest. Hyderabad's defense has been difficult to breach, but they did start their season with a 3-3 draw against Mumbai City FC.
On the other hand, it's hard to keep a team like Kerala quiet for too long, and once they concede, you'd expect the defending champions to cut loose and the game to open up.
As a result, I've gone heavy on the midfield and the forwards in both suggestions, having only a back three. Joao Victor, Ivan Kaliuzhnyi, Rahul KP, and Adrian Luna are the only four players common to both sides, courtesy of their high ownership rates. Sahal Abdul Samad and Halicharan Narzary are high-value picks who I can't accommodate on the same team.
Rahul KP, Adrian Luna, and Ivan Kaliuzhnyi are some of the best captaincy picks for this match.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Prabhsukhan Gill, Nikhil Poojary, Odei Onaindia, Mario Leskovic, Adrian Luna, Halicharan Narzary, Joao Victor, Ivan Kaliuzhnyi, Mohammad Yasir, Rahul KP, and Javier Siverio.
Captain: Ivan Kaliuzhnyi | Vice-Captain: Mohammad Yasir.
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Laxmikant Kattimani, Akash Mishra, Chinglensana Singh, Ruivah Hormipam, Sahal Abdul Samad, Adrian Luna, Joao Victor, Ivan Kaliuzhnyi, Rahul KP, Dimitris Diamantakos, and Bartholomew Ogbeche.
Captain: Adrian Luna. Vice-Captain: Rahul KP.
