Table-toppers Hyderabad FC will play Kerala Blasters FC in Match 99 of the Indian Super League (ISL) tonight, February 23, at the Athletic Stadium in Bambolim.
Manolo Marquez's side will look to add to their current tally in a bid to consolidate their position at the top of the ISL table. Having beaten Bengaluru FC and FC Goa in their last two matches post a defeat against ATK Mohun Bagan, the Nizams will feel confident with their current run of form.
However, the Yellow Tuskers cannot be taken lightly even though the team has slipped from their position amongst the top 4. Ivan Vukomanovic's side will be looking to repeat their tricks against the Nizams as they did in their last meeting.
