Hyderabad FC vs SC East Bengal: Who will win today's ISL match?
SC East Bengal have hit rock bottom in the Indian Super League (ISL) after going winless in their first seven games of the 2021-22 season. With three draws and four losses, Manolo Diaz's men sit 11th in the points table.
SC East Bengal will face Hyderabad FC next in match number 39 of the ISL season at the Athletic Stadium in Bambolim, Goa. Hyderabad FC are fourth in the ISL points table and are unbeaten since their opening game of the season. Since their loss to Chennaiyin FC, the Nizams have won three and drawn two matches.
Hyderabad FC drew 1-1 with FC Goa in their previous encounter while SC East Bengal were beaten 0-2 by NorthEast United FC.
Leading the attacking line for Hyderabad FC is the Nigerian gunman, Bartholomew Ogbeche. If SC East Bengal are to come away with three points tonight, they'll have to keep ISL's leading goal-scorer in check. However, the Kolkata club has been extremely leaky in defense, already conceding 17 goals in their first seven games.
