In the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024–25, Hyderabad FC will play East Bengal FC on Saturday at the G.M.C. Balayogi Athletic Stadium. The goal of East Bengal’s ninth ISL encounter against Hyderabad is to maintain their current domination over the latter.

Including a league double in the 2023–24 season, East Bengal FC has defeated Hyderabad FC in their past two ISL games. Hyderabad FC, meanwhile, will try to recover from a dismal run in which they have lost their past five league games in a row. In the last five games, the Red & Gold Brigade has turned things around, winning four of those encounters. With 13 points from 12 games, they are in 11th place in the standings, whereas Hyderabad FC is in 12th place with seven points from 12 games, which is the same amount as East Bengal FC.

With nine goals in their past five games, the visitors have found their attacking spark again, and their matchup with the Hyderabad FC defense will significantly impact the game’s final result.

After giving up 29 goals in 2019–20, Hyderabad FC has given up 25 goals in 12 games this season, which is their second-highest total to date. In only their previous five games, which include high-scoring games like their 6-0 defeat to Odisha FC and their 5-2 loss to NorthEast United FC, they have conceded 15 goals.
