Hyderabad FC best odds
Hyderabad FC may have joined the Indian Super League just last season but have come a long way since then. They have learned from their mistakes and debacles, as they look to a fresh new start in the league this year.
The Nizams have got a whole new look to their squad, including the manager Manuel Roca, who replaced his fellow countryman Albert Roca at the start of the season.
From having India’s best goalkeeper Subrata Pal to an all-Spanish attack with Adriane Santana and Francisco Sandaza, they enter the tournament with a decent chance of performing well.
However, in comparison to the other, well-established teams in the league, they would still be dubbed as the underdogs. This implies they may enjoy slightly higher odds in their ISL matches versus other sides.

Captain: Adil Khan
The 32-year-old midfielder holds a lot of experience playing for India and other clubs in the I-League and ISL. With Subrata Pal, he may very well manage the team and possibly guide them to a good season.
Key Players: Khan, Santana, Sandaza, Pal
Santana and Sandaza bring a lot of experience to attack; Santana is already well-versed with the ISL as he played for Odisha FC last year and scored 9 goals in the process.
The addition of Onaindia and Victor the teams also brings in relief from a defensive point of view; Manuel Roca is certainly keen on avoiding another goal-conceding season. These two players have a lot of years under their belts and may make life easy for Pal at the goal.
The presence of Lluis Sastre may also benefit the team as the Spaniard has spent a great deal of his career in Spain. The 34-year-old is one of the most experienced defenders in the team and gives the side just what they need to keep clean sheets.
Hyderabad FC 2020-21 analysis
The Nizams have the resources and the players to perform fairly better this season. All they need is time and matches to test out the best playing combinations to find their winning formula.
Strengths
- The Nizams have an experienced coach in Manuel Roca, who has been managing teams in various international leagues since 2002.
- The team is also fielding a pretty impressive defensive line-up with the likes of Subrata Pal, Onaindia and Singh.
- Roca has formed a Spanish core, crucial to his style of play. Sandaza, Santana, and Sastre will help the manager bring out the best of his playing philosophies.
Weaknesses
- The side is still relatively new in the league in comparison to others; consequently, the team chemistry may play a part here.
- The absence of Marcelinho means others in the attack will have to step up and deliver the goals for the Nizams. Roca will need to put a lot of effort to develop his team’s attack.
