ISL 2022/23 – Bengaluru vs Hyderabad, match preview, predicted lineups
Bengaluru FC take on Hyderabad FC on Friday in ISL 2022/23 as the season moves ahead. Both teams will be looking for a win here.
Kick-off : 7:30 PM IST
Venue : Sree Kanteerava Stadium, Bengaluru
Bengaluru have not had the best of seasons so far as they look to maintain a winning form. They find themselves on the 8th spot in the points table after 10 games with 10 points. The goal difference is a -5.
The Blues defending hasn’t been at their best with not such solidarity. They will have to defend well. Attack wise also they demand more.
Manager Simon Grayson might go with a 5-3-2 system on Friday.
On the other hand, Hyderabad are having a good campaign evident from their position in the points table. The Nizams are currently 2nd in the table with 22 points from 10 games. The goal difference is a +9.
The Hyderabad side’s defending has been quiet good as they have fend off opponents. They have been clinical in the final third as well.
Manager Marquez will go with a 4-2-3-1 system.

Prediction
I think home advantage should count in for the Bengaluru side as they look to challenge. But definitely top ranked side will have other ideas as Hyderabad aim for three points. I can see a 2-2 stalemate being played though.
