Hyderabad FC vs Odisha FC: Prediction, preview, predicted lineups, and more for Hero Super Cup 2023 tie
Hyderabad FC and Odisha FC will face each other in a must-win group-stage match of the Hero Super Cup 2023 at the Payyanad Stadium in Manjeri, Kerala, on April 17. Both teams have four points each in Group B and the winners will make it to the semi-finals.
The Nizams kicked off the competition with a narrow 2-1 victory over I-League outfit Aizawl FC, while they were held to a 3-3 draw by East Bengal FC. Manolo Marquez's men also had an impressive run in the Indian Super League (ISL), finishing second in the league table with 13 wins in 20 matches. But the Spanish tactician stressed that the Super Cup and ISL are two separate competitions and past performances won't affect their confidence.
The Juggernauts, on the other hand, struggled in the ISL, finishing sixth with nine wins and conceding twice as many goals as Hyderabad. However, they have been impressive in the Super Cup so far, conceding only once in two games. Clifford Miranda, their coach, believes that their defensive record is helpful, but it's not the only factor that will give them confidence.
The two teams faced each other in the ISL season, with each team winning a match. Given the context and the quality, it promises to be an exciting match, and Miranda hopes that his team will come out as the better side.

Hyderabad FC vs Odisha FC: Prediction
Given the quality at the disposal of both sides, it's incredibly difficult to place a bet on either emerging victorious without some doubt creeping in. However, the Juggernauts have shown slightly more defensive stability and offensive vigour in their past encounters and might just edge out the Nizams.
Prediction: Hyderabad FC 1-2 Odisha FC
