The seventh edition of the Indian Super League (ISL) continues as the second round of fixtures rolls on. Former ISL champions Bengaluru FC are all set to take on Hyderabad FC at the Fatorda Stadium in search of their first win this season.
The matches are being held across three venues (Fatorda Stadium, Tilak Maidan, GMC Stadium) in Goa behind closed doors. The ISL teams are operating inside the bio-bubble ecosystem as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions across the nation.
Bengaluru FC started out against FC Goa in their ISL 2020-21 opener and the fixture delivered on its hype with an evenly-contested 2-2 draw. The Blues let a 2-0 lead slip and allowed FC Goa to mount a comeback and share the points.
Head coach Carles Cuadrat has managed to retain the core of last season's team that bowed out of the playoffs at the semifinal stage. The skipper Sunil Chhetri leads their attack alongside new signing Kristian Opseth. Aussie midfielder Erik Paartalu operates as the defensive medio alongside young Indian talent Suresh Singh Wangjam. They also have the electric duo of Ashique Kuruniyan and Udanta Singh along the wings to launch attacks and deliver crosses for their attackers.
Hyderabad FC got their ISL 2020-21 campaign off to a flyer when they grabbed a 1-0 win over Odisha FC. This win marked their first-ever clean sheet in their history since they made their ISL debut last season.
The Nizams' key striker Aridane Santana scored the solitary goal from the spot-kick to seal three points for them. Hyderabad FC head coach Manuel Marquez Roca deployed youngsters Ashish Rai and Nikhil Poojary as wing-backs to use their pace well on the flanks. They dominated the proceedings on the park against Odisha FC and will aim to repeat their heroics against Bengaluru FC as well.
