Hyderabad FC vs Chennaiyin FC Prediction: The teams are sitting in the bottom two places and will be looking for their first win of the season

Hyderabad FC will welcome Chennaiyin FC in Gameweek 4 of the Indian Super League at Gachibowli Stadium. The teams are sitting in the bottom two places and will be looking for their first win of the season. Who will win? 

Hyderabad FC Form

Despite their second-place finish in the previous season, Hyderabad has struggled to find their rhythm in the current campaign. They enter this match on the back of two losses this season, starting with a 2-1 defeat against East Bengal and followed by a 1-0 loss to Jamshedpur just before the international break. Nevertheless, the home team remains confident as they have maintained an unbeaten record in their last three encounters against this opponent. Furthermore, this marks their inaugural home game of the season, and it's worth noting that they secured 21 points out of a possible 33 on their home turf last year.

Hyderabad FC Predicted lineup

Gurmeet Singh (GK), Nikhil Poojary, Chinglensana Singh, Nim Dorjee Tamang, Vignesh Dakshinamurthy, Joao Victor, Petteri Pennane, Mohammad Yasir, Felipe Amorim, Joseph Knowles, Aaren D’Silva

Chennaiyin FC Form

Chennaiyin, on the other hand, has participated in three matches this season but has been unable to secure a victory. Their season commenced with a 2-0 defeat to Odisha, followed by a 3-0 loss to NorthEast United and a 3-1 loss to Mohun Bagan just before the break. Currently, they hold the unfortunate distinction of the worst defensive record in the Super League this season, having already conceded eight goals. Chennaiyin's recent away form has been less than impressive, with no victories in their last three competitive matches on the road and just a single win in their previous ten away outings. Furthermore, they have failed to find the back of the net in their last four away games. In their most recent three encounters with this opponent, Chennaiyin has been outscored 5-3, cementing their status as the clear underdogs in this match.

Chennaiyin FC's possible lineup

Samik Mitra(GK), Aakash Sangwan, Lazar Cirkovic, Ryan Edwards, Bikash Yumnam, Ayush Adhikari, Cristian Battocchio, Ninthoi Meetei, Rafael Crivellaro, Farukh Chaudhary, Rahim Ali

Expert Betting Tips

In an early clash of the league's lower-ranked teams, Hyderabad and Chennaiyin will meet, as both currently occupy the bottom two positions and have yet to secure a single point this season. In a match anticipated to be rather lackluster, given the desperation of these struggling sides, we can expect a dearth of attacking prowess. Scoring opportunities are likely to be at a premium, as neither team will be inclined to take offensive risks that could result in a counterproductive outcome. Consequently, placing a wager on fewer than 2.5 goals appears to be a prudent choice. Additionally, we predict the home team to emerge victorious in this fixture.
