Twitter-Hyderabad FC
It hasn’t been an easy season for Hyderabad FC as they’ve just managed to win one game from 16 games while sustaining and three draws and 12 defeats in the ongoing campaign which places them at rock bottom with six points. However, Hyderabad will hope to end their final two games on a positive note as they host Jamshedpur FC next.
Meanwhile, Jamshedpur FC has also no chance of making it to the knockouts after losing three and drawing one on the bounce which positions them 7th in the league with 17 points. With the upcoming fixture being a dead rubber, both sides will be looking to play in a fearless manner and might even give opportunities to some non-regulars.
