ISL 2022-23: NorthEast United vs Hyderabad FC prediction, preview, team news, and more

Reigning Indian Super League (ISL) champions Hyderabad FC and NorthEast United, who finished 10th in the league table last season, will go head-to-head at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati on October 13 (Thursday).

Both sides are yet to taste victory this campaign after the Highlanders lost their opening game to Bengaluru controversially, with head coach Marco Balbul being shown the marching orders. The Nizams, meanwhile, played out an entertaining 3-3 draw with Mumbai City FC and will be desperately searching for three points on Thursday.

NorthEast United exceeded expectations and deserved at least a draw out of their away trip to Bengaluru. Their attacking potency is not on par with Hyderabad, but their defensive resilience could make it tough for Ogbeche and Co.

The hosts will be looking to capitalize on Hyderabad's defensive mistakes, who conceded three goals against the Islanders in their previous game.
