After a narrow loss to Kerala Blasters at home in the last round, Manolo Marquez’s Hyderabad FC are back in action when they take on Kolkata giants ATK Mohun Bagan at the Saltlake Stadium in yet another promising Indian Super League clash this Saturday.
Hyderabad FC, who have 16 points from their seven games, will look to consolidate their place at the top of the league table with a positive result on the night.
The Mariners, who are fresh from a 0-3 loss to FC Goa in the last round, will also look to put in a strong performance, in front of their home fans, to try and push for a place at the summit of the league table.
Juan Ferrando’s men have made a mixed start to the league season, having registered three wins and two draws in their six games so far this season. Dimitri Petratos, Manvir Singh and Liston Colaco make a formidable attacking unit, which could prove hot to handle for the traveling Hyderabad FC side.
Hugo Boumous, Carl McHugh, Brendan Hamill, Lenny Rodriguez and Vishal Kaith on goal have all been in fine form, but the Mariners will miss the services of Joni Kauko, who is expected to be out injured for a while.
Speaking to the media ahead of this game, Hyderabad FC Head Coach Manolo Marquez expressed that this will be a very difficult game for both sides. “Everyone knows the quality of the foreigners and Indian players at ATK Mohun Bagan. The ISL is an equal competition where any team can beat the other on a given day,” he said.
