The Hyderabad FC squad traveled to Guwahati after almost a year, after fond memories of a 3-0 victory over the Highlanders on their last visit to the city in the Indian Super League.
They will look to make a strong start against I-League side Delhi FC, in what will be the first meeting between the two teams.
First Team Coach Conor Nestor and Head Coach Thangboi Singto took charge of two training sessions in Guwahati and will hope that their side is ready to kick off their new season with a positive performance.
The Nawabs are drawn in Group E alongside Chennaiyin FC, Tribhuvan Army and Delhi FC, with all their group games scheduled to be played at the IGAS in Guwahati.
The game kicks off at 2:30pm on Sunday and will be telecasted live on Sony Sports 2 and Sony Liv.
😍 It feels so good to say, It's Matchday!
