15 goals between the two Odisha FC strikers this season; Explains why the Juggernauts are up there at the top.
It's the title contenders vs bottom dwellers as Odisha FC have travelled to neighbouring Telangana to face Hyderabad FC at the Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad on Monday (February 5). Odisha FC are currently tied at the top of the table with FC Goa at 27 points each while Hyderabad FC are down at the bottom of the 12-club ISL points table with just four points in 12 matches.
The 14th matchweek of the current ISL season begins with this game, and the home team is still working hard to secure the coveted three points. In their previous match, they were defeated 2-0 by FC Goa, with a brace from Carlos Martinez denying them a point.
Hyderabad FC's lone foreign player to start the match was Joao Victor, and Thangboi Singto, the head coach, is forced to make due with the players who are available, the majority of whom are from the home country. Prior to the match against the Gaurs, Singto made an effort to see the bright side of things, stating that despite the obstacles he faces, this is a fantastic opportunity for him to accomplish something notable.
Even when facing the Juggernauts, who haven't lost an ISL game since late October of this year, he must maintain that mindset. This season, they have an unblemished record away from home and have won their last two meetings with Hyderabad FC. They have also established an excellent road record. Furthermore, one of the main factors contributing to their recent success has been their propensity to overcome challenging in-game situations.
Even against the Kerala Blasters FC, Odisha FC demonstrated remarkable perseverance as they defeated them and tied the score with FC Goa by scoring twice in the second half, thanks to Roy Krishna. Hyderabad FC has a very youthful team at their disposal, and they will have a great chance to demonstrate their potential in the Indian top division over the next few games. First and foremost, they must inject some energy into their attacking strategies, as they have only scored once in their last six home games.
