Hyderabad FC have only scored one goal in open play (three in total) and have the lowest shooting accuracy of 20.68% this season. On the other hand, SC East Bengal has not yet opened its account in the scoring department. The showdown is likely to be a low scoring affair given the stats both teams have at the moment.
Hyderabad FC coach Manuel Márquez brushed aside comments that his team is under pressure, saying: “Our team is playing good football and we have no pressure. For me, the best thing right now is knowing that the These guys’ performance without foreigners is fantastic and we have to improve as fast as we can. ” Robbie Fowler’s East Bengal held Jamshedpur FC to a goalless draw despite playing with one man fewer for over an hour, which he believes is an encouraging sign. “The motivation is always there to win every game. We are a team with a great work ethic. The unity of this team is brilliant. We are full of fighters,” he said.
Marquez also said it would not be an easy way out. “I think East Bengal is growing, and they had opportunities to score in their matches against ATK Mohun Bagan, Mumbai and NorthEast United when the scores were even. If we change our style because East Bengal has not scored any goals, it will be a mistake. We know that we have a chance of winning the game if we play our way. “
