inaugural match of the 2024 edition of the Super Cup, now named the Kalinga Super Cup, between East Bengal FC and Hyderabad FC.
East Bengal FC, led by manager Carles Cuadrat, is currently enjoying a five-game unbeaten run in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24, despite having won only one match. The team is relying on the form of its Brazilian striker, Cleiton Silva, to carry the momentum into the cup competition.
On the other hand, Hyderabad FC is facing a challenging season, currently occupying the bottom position in the ISL 2023-24 points table. The team has encountered difficulties, including the departure of coach Manolo Marquez and key players, leading to a string of losses in the league.
Despite their struggles in the ISL, Hyderabad FC is determined to put their recent performance behind and make a fresh start in the Kalinga Super Cup. The team aims for a strong comeback in the later part of the ISL season, and the cup competition provides an opportunity to turn their fortunes around.
The match between East Bengal FC and Hyderabad FC in the Kalinga Super Cup will be crucial for both teams, as they look to showcase their strengths and secure a positive start in the tournament.
