East Bengal FC (EBFC) lock horns with Hyderabad FC (HFC) in the third match of Matchweek 16 of the Hero Indian Super League 22/23 on Friday, January 20, at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
Both sides come into this fixture on the back of disappointing results. East Bengal lost 1-2 to Jamshedpur FC, conceding two second-half goals after Cleiton Silva scored in a first half that East Bengal dominated.
Meanwhile, Hyderabad FC were lucky to escape with a point in a 1-1 draw against Chennaiyin FC, courtesy of a late Ogbeche penalty. It did, however, put them back in the chase for the top spot with Mumbai City FC and they're currently seven points behind the Islanders.

East Bengal FC vs Hyderabad FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Despite East Bengal FC's home advantage, I feel that Hyderabad FC start this game as the favorites. While Cleiton Silva's quality shouldn't be ignored, the other attacking options from East Bengal pale in comparison to the ones from Hyderabad FC.
Bartholomew Ogbeche, Cleiton Silva, Halicharan Narzary, Alex Lima, Mohammad Yasir, and Akash Mishra are the six players I feel are must-haves on every team. Javier Siverio and Borja Herrera both have a high ceiling for points and could be excellent differentials.
Cleiton Silva and Ogbeche would be my preferred captaincy picks.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Suvam Sen, Chinglensana Singh, Akash Mishra, Ivan Gonzalez, Alex Lima, Halicharan Narzary, Naorem Roshan Singh, Mohammad Yasir, Javier Siverio, Cleiton Silva, and Bartholomew Ogbeche.
Captain: Cleiton Silva. | Vice-Captain: Bartholomew Ogbeche.
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Gurmeet Singh, Nikhil Poojary, Akash Mishra, Jerry Lalrinzuala, Alex Lima, Halicharan Narzary, VP Suhair, Mohammad Yasir, Borja Herrera, Cleiton Silva, and Bartholomew Ogbeche.
Captain: Bartholomew Ogbeche. Vice-Captain: Halicharan Narzary.
