An important duel in the bottom section of the Indian Super League, with both NorthEast United and Hyderabad experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 10th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
NorthEast United form and stats
With 1 Indian Super League win, 4 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, NorthEast United are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for NorthEast United who hasn’t won a league-game in their last twelve attempts. Their previous win was against Hyderabad, 106 days ago. Two draws in a row at home now for NorthEast United.
NorthEast United faced defeat in their previous match, away at Odisha FC (1-2). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 3-3 versus Jamshedpur.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how NorthEast United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won zero times, drawn one and lost zero.
The NorthEast United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
Hyderabad form and stats
Hyderabad, who have the most conceded goals (38) in Indian Super League, have only collected 0 points from their away games in the Indian Super League, after 0-0-8 (8 played). The manager X. Gurri is not happy with the away performances in the Indian Super League so far, as all 8 matches have been lost. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Hyderabad, who have now gone 14 games without a victory. The Kerala Blasters game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. It's all red in the travel logs of Hyderabad, having lost eight matches in a row as the visiting team.
Hyderabad's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Jamshedpur that finished 1-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Goa wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.
We have checked recent matches where Hyderabad have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those one game were zero victories, zero draws and one defeat.
The attacking power of Hyderabad when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away. The Hyderabad defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 25 goals in their away games.
