Bengaluru FC v Hyderabad FC Prediction: Bengaluru FC looked good in the first game

Bengaluru FC welcomes Hyderabad FC to the second gameweek of Indian Super League at Sree Kanteerava Stadium, Bengaluru. Bengaluru FC looked good in the first game. Who will win at the 90th minute?

Bengaluru FC deservedly dominated the proceedings against East Bengal. The home side seemed restricted to very few chances as they failed to cause much of an issue for an otherwise calm and composed Bengaluru FC. Gerard Zaragoza was satisfied with the result, though he maintained his team had a lot more to give through the remaining matches.

Bengaluru FC have faced a frustrating exit from the Durand Cup semifinals after losing the game in penalties against Mohun Bagan, and with some shrewd signings during the transfer window, the team looks to lead the Indian Super League into new highs. Zaragoza's team will not have injury woes as they head into their next match as they look to collect three points against the Nizams.

Bengaluru won the encounter 2-1 at home last season, while it was a much fight end, 1-1, at Gachibowli. The scene is all set for an another similar battle this time.

Hyderabad FC is certainly not having an easy start to the season under interim coach Thangboi Singto, as they are still in the process of finalizing their foreign signings. New ownership takeover is promising Nizams' a much-improved campaign but lack of a proper preseason and incomplete recruitment will make it tough for them.

Although this will definitely pose challenges, Hyderabad are going to look forward to a bright start to the season. Nizams have no injury problems with them, but there has been an uncertainty with regard to Cy Goddard. Singto would have all the available Indian players to the task to prove his mettle against the might of Bengaluru FC side.

Hyderabad FC did not conclude their signing process yet, but their Indians will be a task force which will put the Bengaluru FC to test. However, Bengaluru FC will be high on confidence following their victory and will try to capitalize on this home turf. Blues have been in good form, winning three of their five last games at their home stadium, and will try to continue that rhythm forward to get another three points on board.

It promises to be a really competitive affair with Bengaluru having ample reason to be in high spirits and Hyderabad equally determined to bring them down.
