Hyderabad FC vs Jamshedpur FC Prediction: A dead rubber game is on the cards

Hyderabad FC will welcome Jamshedpur FC in the 20th game week of the ISL at G.M.C. Balayogi Athletic Stadium, Hyderabad. Hyderabad has made the second spot in the ISL table as their own, and Jamshedpur has had a season to forget in this year's ISL. Who will win? 

Hyderabad secured their second spot in the table by winning their last game against Mohun Bagan. The Nizams defeated ATK by 1-0 with the only goal coming from Bartholomew Ogbeche in the 86th minute of the game. They have won 12 games in 18 so far and have 39 points. The Hyderabad team missed out on the ISL shield to Mumbai but other than that their season has been spotless. They have done well on both sides of the pitch. With the playoffs and second spot already in grasp, they will look to rest some important players in this game against Jamshedpur. 

Gurmeet Singh, Nikhil Poojary, Chinglensana Singh, Odei Onaindia, Aakash Mishra, Hitesh Sharma, Borja Herrera, Mohammad Yasir, Joel Chianese, Halicharan Narzary, Javier Silverio

The Miners have had the season to forget. They have only managed to win only three games across the season. Sitting second to the bottom of the table they do not have any chance of going into the playoffs and are looking at their worst-ever season in ISL. Only 13 points across 18 games do not please anyone. With a dead rubber game in their hands, they will try to experiment with a few younger players for the next season. Getting a result against the Nizams will not be easy. The Jamshedpur have the chance of making a statement at the dying end of the season. 

Rehenesh TP, Laldinliana Renthlei, Pratik Chaudhari, Eli Sabia, Ricky Lallawmawma, Jitendra Singh, Rafael Crivellaro, Boris Singh, Jay Thomas, Ritwik Das, Daniel Chukwu

The game looks very one-sided on paper with Hyderabad being the clear favourites to win. Since Hyderabad will look to rest some key players we can expect Jamshedpur to get a result in this game. A draw or Jamshedpur win is on the cards here. Expect less than 2.5 goals in this game.
