ISL 2020-21: Hyderabad FC vs FC Goa prediction, preview, team news and more

Hyderabad FC face FC Goa in an exciting clash on Wednesday in the Indian Super League (ISL).

Hyderabad FC's gaffer Manolo Marquez had a tough task at hand early in the season. The injuries to key foreign players like Fran Sandaza, Lluis Sastre, and Joel Chianese put the Nizams at a disadvantage. However, the team did exceedingly well to collect nine points from seven matches.

The young Indians have caught everyone's eyes, but the team still misses the service of the foreigners. Two successive losses have pushed Hyderabad FC to the 8th position. A win against FC Goa will be crucial in their quest for the top-four spot.

FC Goa are one of the strongest sides this season. As Marquez said before the match, the Gaurs are "surely one of the favorites to end the season in the top-4."

FC Goa are currently sixth on the table with eleven points from eight matches. They come into this clash on the back of a win. The team has been depending too much on Igor Angulo this season. They need other players to step up if they want to stay in contention for the top spot in this ISL.
