The match will be played at the GMC Balayogi Athletic Stadium on November 29, 2019 (Friday).

Bengaluru are starting to find their feet this season and have recorded two consecutive victories over Chennaiyin and Kerala after a disappointing start. The defending champions will be looking to make it three wins out of three when they travel to face Hyderabad. Sunil Chhetri has been on the score-sheet in both of Bengaluru’s wins and his return in form will give the side a much-needed boost to come away with all three points. Hyderabad, on the other hand, are struggling to score as they have managed only four goals in the five games played this season. Marcelo Pereira has never found the net in his five matches against Bengaluru and will be eager to change that. BFC vs HYD Dream11 Prediction in ISL 2019–20: Tips to Pick Best Team for Hyderabad FC vs Bengaluru FC, Indian Super League 6 Football Match.

Marcelinho Pereira

The Brazilian is probably Hyderabad’s most influential player and will need to be in top form if they are to get anything out of this game. Marcelino has never scored against Bengaluru in his five matches and will hope to put an end to his barren run this time out. The Brazilian forward has scored two goals so far, which is 50 percent of Hyderabad’s goals this season.

Gurpreet Singh Sandhu

The Indian number one has been immense for the defending champions this season. Bengaluru are yet to concede a goal from open play and he is the main reason behind it. Hyderabad have a blunt attack and will find it difficult to get past Sandhu if the Indian is in top form.

Sunil Chhetri

The Indian captain has found his form once again and will be a threat for the Hyderabad defense to deal with. Chhetri has scored in the last two games and will be eager to extend this run against the struggling newcomers.

Robin Singh

The Hyderabad striker has found life difficult at the start of this season as the former Indian international has been firing blanks and is yet to score a goal. Robin missed a couple of clear-cut chances against Chennaiyin and will be looking to redeem himself against the defending champions. Robin has played for Bengaluru from 2013 to 2015 during their time in the I-league.

Erik Paartalu

The Australian has been a central figure for Bengaluru in their last two games since his return from injury. The midfielder scored and assisted a goal on his return in the match against Chennaiyin. Erik was instrumental in stopping the Hyderabad attack to pose any danger during Bengaluru’s last match and will be hoping to put on a similar performance this time out.

Bengaluru are winless in their last eight away matches excluding the ISL 2018-19 final, but with form on their side, they will be confident to get a win in this match. A victory will move Bengaluru to the top of the table. Hyderabad, on the other hand, will be hoping for a win to lift them from the bottom.
