The expectations are monumental this season from Hyderabad FC. Manolo Marquez’s men will be looking to defend their title and replicate last term’s performances. The Nizams are a strong team on paper and their continuity gives them an edge. It will be interesting to see if the outfit continues to perform at a high level, now that the league is aware of their threat.
Mumbai City FC have a simple task ahead – reclaim its throne. Failing to defend the title last season was a setback for the club. In order to get back on the summit of ISL, the Islanders have recruited sensational players including Greg Stewart, who was immense for ISL Shield winners Jamshedpur FC last term.
Hyderabad FC does not have major injuries to report and Manolo Marquez should have a full squad to choose from. As for Mumbai City FC, barring Amey Ranawade who picked up an injury in the 2022 Durand Cup, Des Buckingham will have a full squad to choose from for the first game of the season.
