Optimism is scarce for Hyderabad as they continue to struggle in the ongoing season. Despite a few promising moments, such as managing a couple of shots on target against a formidable Goa defense, the team finds itself in a precarious position. With an average of less than 0.5 goals per game and consistent poor performances across all aspects, Hyderabad's woes persist. Their recent loss marks their sixth consecutive defeat in all competitions, highlighting their inability to turn the tide. With only four points out of a possible 48 this season, the club languishes at the bottom of the table. Scoring just five goals so far, Hyderabad enters the upcoming match with little confidence. Jonathan Moya, the joint top scorer for Hyderabad, has contributed only one goal this season. Amidst their struggles, none of the players have managed to deliver commendable performances across the pitch.
Hyderabad FC possible lineup
Gurmeet Singh (GK), Alex Saji, Mohammed Rafi, Sajad Parray, Mark Zothanpuia, Lalchhanhima Sailo, Joao Victor, Abdul Rabeeh, Makan Chote, Ramhlunchhunga, Aaren D’Silva.
Odisha FC Form
Optimism abounds for Odisha as they have emerged as a vastly improved team in recent years. Their resilience is evident in their unbeaten streak, having not suffered a defeat in 90 minutes of any game since October. Despite their commendable progress, concerns linger regarding Odisha's away performances, which have yet to reach stellar levels. Additionally, their track record against Hyderabad away from home is less than impressive, with only one victory to their name. Nevertheless, Odisha's transformation from a feeble and inconsistent side to a formidable contender near the top of the table is evident. While an upcoming home game against Kerala Blasters may not pose the toughest challenge, tougher matchups against the likes of Goa and Mohun Bagan loom on the horizon. However, Odisha has demonstrated remarkable firepower, capable of navigating through challenging scenarios with resilience and determination. Sergio Lobera's unbeaten record against Hyderabad adds to Odisha's confidence, while players like Diego Mauricio and Roy Krishna contribute significantly to their attacking prowess.
Odisha FC Predicted lineup
Amrinder Singh (GK), Amey Ranawade, Narender Gahlot, Carlos Delgado, Jerry Lalrinzuala, Ahmed Jahouh, Princeton Rebello, Puitea, Isak Vanlalruatfela, Roy Krishna, Diego Mauricio.
