Fateh Hyderabad are in good form in group C as they have won their last two matches against Pride Sports and Ozone FC. The team has conceded only once in the entire preliminary round.

Meanwhile, LoneStar were also table toppers in group A. The Kashmir-based club has experienced mixed form, winning three, drawing one and losing two of its games.

Hyderabad coach Yogesh Maurya will have no issue to go with the same starting XI which earned him all three points in their last match against Pride Sports, a game in which Fateh did not concede any.

LoneStar head coach Hilal Rasool will also have all players at his disposal and is most likely to go with the similar starting XI which won against Sudeva Moonlight FC in their last preliminaries. 

 Head-to-Head

This will be the first clash between the two sides.
