ISL 2024-25: Bengaluru FC vs Hyderabad FC – Build-up

Bengaluru FC is set to lock horns with Hyderabad FC in Match week 2 of the Indian Super League(ISL) 2024-25 season on 19th September (Thursday) at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium. The Blues who have already won their opening fixture will look forward to another decisive win and go up in the points table. 

The Nizams on the other hand will try to start their 2024-25 campaign with a win to rectify their disappointments from the last season. Hyderabad FC currently enjoy an advantage in the head-to-head record against the Blues, so it will thus be interesting to watch how both teams prepare to get all three points. Bengaluru, who will be playing in their stronghold, will definitely have an extra layer of benefit but the visitors will try to overcome that and give their all, starting their ISL season on a positive note.

Bengaluru FC have already gotten the start they have been looking for. The Blues secured all three points from their opening home game against East Bengal FC, and the team will also try to maintain their winning momentum in the upcoming games.

Gerard Zaragoza and his men will try to move on from their unfulfilled Durand Cup campaign and aim for a good spot in the 2024-25 Indian Super League table. This season, with a mix of seasoned Indian players and top-quality experienced stars, they will look ahead in turning their last season’s misfortunes.

Looking to turn things around after finishing at the bottom place in the ISL 2023-24, the defending champions will be looking to take the lead in their first match against the Blues. After overcoming their financial woes from the previous season after the B.C. Jindal Group’s timely takeover, Hyderabad FC has already acquired the services of some good foreign players whose official announcements are slowly being made.

With some renowned Indian players on the squad, the Nizams are expected to put up a strong show this season when they lock horns with every other team in the league.

The 33-year-old Spanish midfielder was signed by Bengaluru FC earlier this season with hopes of filling in the gap left behind by Javi Hernandez. Capo, who has more than 350 appearances in the Spanish third division, has already started showing his impressive style of play in the centre of the park. Under this new structure of Zaragoza, the Spaniard will surely be the mastermind behind the Blues’ offensive moves.

The defender decided to stay with Hyderabad FC despite many transfer rumors that were linked to him in the most recent transfer saga. When they play the in-form Blues at the Kanteerava, Alex Saji will play an influential role for his side. To prevent the Bengaluru attackers from hitting the back of the goal, Saji has to form a strong back-four partnership.
