Bengaluru FC have never won the Durand Cup. Despite winning both the I-League and the ISL in the past, this is a milestone the club have not achieved yet. The upcoming game presents a golden opportunity for the Blues to reach the final and get one step closer to winning the tournament.

Hyderabad FC won their first-ever domestic title by securing the 2021-22 ISL trophy. The Nizams, under Manolo Marquez, are looking strong favourites to win a maiden Durand Cup title. Winning the oldest tournament in Asia will be a huge achievement for the club. As it stands, the stakes are massive for HFC, who can make further history by reaching their first-ever Durand Cup final and getting one hand on the prestigious trophy.
