Hyderabad FC takes on the Mohun Bagan Super Giant in Matchweek 8 of the Hero Indian Super League 2023/24 on Saturday, December 2, at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant FC returns to ISL action after more than a month, and despite playing only four matches, they're fourth in the points table after winning all four of those games. Their last outing was a 3-2 victory against Jamshedpur FC, and the side will want to keep the 100% record up against a struggling Hyderabad FC.
Hyderabad FC has just not going at all this season and is placed at the bottom of the table, with only three points in seven matches. Their last outing was a 1-0 defeat away against the Kerala Blasters.

Hyderabad FC vs Mohun Bagan Super Giant FC: Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
There's no doubt that MBSG is the favorite to win this match but the re-classification of Liston Colaco, Armando Sadiku, and Jason Cummings as midfielders instead of forwards makes the Dream11 selection pretty interesting this week.
Manvir Singh and Dimitri Petratos, two players who led MBSG's charge in the league, were nowhere to be seen in their two AFC Cup games. If they return to the starting XI, they will be the first-choice FWD picks. However, if they don't (which is likely), Jonathan Moya looks like the only Forward who'll start the match.
That means Moya, alongside Jason Cummings, Liston Colaco, Sahal Abdul Samad, and Subhashish Bose, become must-haves. The choice of midfielder between Armando Sadiku and Hugo Boumous is crucial as well.
Captaincy-wise, it's better to back the Mohun Bagan Super Giant midfielders or defenders in this one.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Gurmeet Singh, Oswaldo Alanis, Subhashish Bose, Brendan Hamill, Hector Yuste, Jason Cummings, Sahal Abdul Samad, Liston Colaco, Hugo Boumous, Joe Knowles, and Jonathan Moya.
Captain: Jason Cummings. Vice-Captain: Liston Colaco.
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Vishal Kaith, Chinglensana Singh, Subhashish Bose, Nikhil Poojary, Hector Yuste, Armando Sadiku, Jason Cummings, Sahal Abdul Samad, Liston Colaco, Mohammad Yasir, and Jonathan Moya.
Captain: Sahal Abdul Samad. Vice-Captain: Liston Colaco.
