But they have had two big injuries in Joel Chianese and Lluis Sastre, which will affect them in the second half. Bengaluru FC saw their keeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu make a big save but they will need to take more control in the midfield.

Joel Chianese is being helped out of the ground after his ankle was twisted during a challenge in the Bengaluru FC box. He was replaced by Mohammad Yasir. That is a big blow for Hyderabad given the way Chianese was doing on the pitch.

Excellent movement by Joel Chianese as he drops his shoulder and gets close to the by-line to make the pass in the middle of the box but Suresh Wangjam puts it out. That was good work from both Hyderabad and Bengaluru.

Manuel Marquez said his team always prepares for set pieces and not just ahead of the game against Bengaluru. "In football, there are five things things - attack, defence, two transitions and set pieces. You have to work on all these things, set pieces in defence and attack. We have to defend well in set pieces because they are strong and have different variations and headers and shooters. We try to avoid these kind of situations but we have to defend when it comes because we know that is one of their strong points," he explained.

Hyderabad FC have made two changes in the staring line-up with Chinglensana Singh and Joel Chianese coming in.

Ahead of the match, Hyderabad FC head coach Marcelo Marquez said, "We will play a team that is one of the favourites for the title. About the fact that we haven't won a game against Bengaluru, just two games from last season is not statistic for me. Keeping a clean sheet like we did in the first game is a good and tough statistic for me."

Hyderabad FC's starting line-up against Bengaluru FC: Subrata Paul (GK), Chinglensana Singh Konsham, Lluis Sastre, Joel Joseph Chianese, Joao Victor de Albuquerque Bruno, Aridane Jesus Santana Cabrera (C), Odei Onaindia Zabala, Halicharan Narzary, Nikhil Poojary, Akash Mishra, Asish Rai.

Subrata Paul will be key for Bengaluru FC

The number of saves Subrata Paul has made against BFC in five matches he has faced them, including two clean sheets. He had a comfortable night facing Odisha but against a team of natural goal-scorers, he will be a key for our defence.

Bengaluru FC's No.1 Gurpreet Singh Sandhu is ready for the game!
