Hyderabad FC will face a run-down SC East Bengal in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Thursday at the GMC Athletic Stadium in Goa.
Hyderabad FC are currently sitting 3rd in the ISL table with 11 points from six matches. After missing out on the playoffs narrowly in the ISL 2020-21, Manolo Marquez's side are determined to maintain their position in the top four.
Hyderabad FC were on the losing side in their first match of the season but have been on an unbeaten streak ever since. With three wins and two draws in their last five games, the Nizams are a force to be reckoned with.
SC East Bengal, meanwhile, are in quite the opposite situation. They are yet to win a single match this season and are dwelling at the bottom of the ISL table. Manolo Diaz's men have managed to collect three points in seven outings from three draws. With dwindling hopes of qualifying for the playoffs, SC East Bengal will look to finish as high as possible in the ISL standings and play for their pride.
Hyderabad FC will be hoping for a comfortable win against SC East Bengal to close the gap between league leaders Mumbai City FC.
