Mumbai City FC vs Hyderabad FC: MCFC vs HFC Dream11 team prediction fantasy football tips for today's ISL match - October 28, 2023

Mumbai City FC and Hyderabad FC will face off in the penultimate match of Matchweek 5 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023/24 on Saturday, October 28, at the Mumbai Football Arena.

The hosts are expected to dominate this game but are coming off a humbling against Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal in the AFC Champions League. They will need to quickly recover from it and put their game faces on in the ISL. Des Buckingham's side were last seen in league action three weeks ago in a tense 2-1 home win over the Kerala Blasters.

Meanwhile, Hyderabad FC's campaign simply is yet to get going, and an away match against Mumbai City FC isn't what they will want at this stage. They had the perfect opportunity to get their first points of the season at home to fellow strugglers Chennaiyin FC, but despite having the lion's share of possession, they fell to a 1-0 defeat.

Mumbai City FC vs Hyderabad FC: Dream11 fantasy suggestions

The Islanders are expected to dominate this contest, and it will take something special from Hyderabad FC to upstage the hosts. Backing MCFC to the hilt in this match should be the way to go, with Joe Knowles the only must-own from the Nizams.

On the other hand, Rostyn Griffiths, Greg Stewart, Jorge Diaz, and Lallianzuala Chhangte are all essentials to own for this fixture, with the MCFC attacking quartet likely to haul big.

Jorge Diaz, Chhangte, Greg Stewart, and Joe Knowles are the best captaincy options.
