Hyderabad FC, on the other hand, have endured a struggling season, since they are currently occupying the last but one place with 16 points from 19 matches on the back of four wins and draws each.

However, they have bagged encouraging outcomes in their last five matches, winning and drawing twice each, comprising two victories in their previous three encounters.

Their recent form thus suggests that they have the potential of upsetting Odisha FC’s play-off hopes.
