Mohun Bagan:
Following a challenging draw against rivals East Bengal in the recent Kolkata derby, Mohun Bagan faces additional hurdles due to injury concerns. Coach Habas is striving to instill his tactics and style into the squad, but time is running thin for Mohun Bagan to stay competitive in the league championship race.
Their upcoming match against Hyderabad FC presents a prime opportunity to return to winning form. However, anything less than a victory could deal a severe blow to their championship aspirations and raise doubts about the squad's capabilities, dampening fan morale. Mohun Bagan must deliver a stellar performance to secure a crucial win and reignite their winning momentum.
Hyderabad FC:
Hyderabad FC has faced numerous off-the-field challenges this season, resulting in a depleted squad with minimal foreign player presence and a roster primarily comprised of young, inexperienced talent. Despite these obstacles, the team continues to exhibit resilience and determination, aiming to provide an entertaining spectacle for supporters.
Heading into the match against Mohun Bagan as clear underdogs, Hyderabad FC acknowledges the widespread expectation of defeat. However, this perceived disadvantage can serve as motivation for the young players to unleash an energetic, attacking style of football, placing pressure on Mohun Bagan and striving for a positive outcome. While a loss may not significantly impact their current form, securing even a draw could serve as a significant confidence boost for the team's budding talents.
Injury and Team News:
Mohun Bagan faces defensive setbacks with the absence of injured players Brendan Hamill and Anwar Ali, both sidelined from the derby. Additionally, Deepak Tangri and Armando Sadiku are suspended for the upcoming match, while doubts linger over the fitness of Asish Rai and Liston Colaco. These absences pose a challenge for Mohun Bagan as they seek to overcome Hyderabad FC.
