Hyderabad FC will face struggling Odisha FC on Tuesday in the Indian Super League (ISL). The Fatorda Stadium in Vasco will witness a battle where the Nizams will look to solidify their place in the top-four.
In their debut ISL season last year, Hyderabad FC finished at the bottom of the table after forgettable performances. But under Manolo Marquez, the team is looking rejuvenated and determined. They have collected 16 points from eleven matches and sit fourth on the table.
On the other hand, Odisha FC are going through their worst period. Just like Hyderabad FC, Odisha played in the ISL for the first time last season. But unlike the Nizams, they fought well and missed the playoffs by a whisker.
This season has been terrible till now for Stuart Baxter and his men as they occupy the last place on the standings. A win against Hyderabad FC will not be enough to push them up and a turnaround from here will be a difficult job.
