Hyderabad form and stats

Hyderabad have performed here at GMC Balayogi Stadium this season with 4 wins from 6 Indian Super League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 1.

The Hyderabad goalkeeper Gurmeet Singh is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 192 minutes without conceding a goal in the Indian Super League.

It's back home for Hyderabad, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Bengaluru away with the result 3-0. Ogbeche (2) and Chianese found the net in that victory. Ogbeche (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.13/10. Ogbeche scored two goals, hit the woodwork once and hit one key pass.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against East Bengal.

It should be taken into account that a peek at the 10 most recent league games shows that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored).

Hyderabad are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games. From these home matches, Hyderabad have conceded only 4 goals.

NorthEast United form and stats

0 wins, 0 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of NorthEast United playing as the away team in the Indian Super League this season. Bitter travels for NorthEast United as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Bengaluru match.

Impressive finishing from Jordan secured the home win 1-0 against ATK Mohun Bagan in their previous game. That victory was so vital for this club, after a terrible sequence of ten league rounds in a row not winning. Goalkeeper Michu was absolutely vital in the NorthEast victory against ATK Mohun Bagan, making eight saves. Michu (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.82. Michu topped it up with a clean sheet.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Goa wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 8 of this side's 10 latest league fixtures have ended with at least three goals.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. NorthEast United have conceded 8 goals in these games.
