Indian Super League: Hyderabad vs NorthEast United, Preview and prediction

The Highlanders are looking for yet another victory after ending their 10-game losing streak against ATK Mohun Bagan on Saturday, while the Nizams are vying for their first ISL Shield triumph.

Despite losing back-to-back games against ATK Mohun Bagan and Kerala Blasters, Manolo Marquez's team recovered with three straight victories. They'll want to continue their winning streak and take over the top spot, which Mumbai City most recently held.

Forward Despite having a slow start to the 2022–23 ISL season, Bartholomew Ogbeche scored twice against Bengaluru in their last match. The goals also include ones from the forwards Mohammad Yasir and Halicharan Narzary.

On the other hand, NorthEast United won their first game of the year over the weekend by defeating ATK Mohun Bagan. The Highlanders won thanks to a second-half header from Wilmar Jordan.

Following back-to-back defeats under new manager Vincenzo Alberto Annese, it was a well-deserved triumph. Even though most of the team was discouraged by the results, the Italians led the team by boosting the players' confidence.

The men in white may struggle against Hyderabad as they did in the previous game, but their supporters can count on an unwavering effort on Thursday. Most likely, the hosts will keep winning.

Hyderabad are predicted to win.

Hyderabad- Gurmeet Singh; Nikhil Poojary, Nim Dorjee, Odei Onaindia, Akash Mishra; Hitesh Sharma, Borja Herrera; Rohit Danu, Bartholomew Ogbeche, Halicharan Narzary, and Javier Siverio.
