Hyderabad FC Manolo Marquez - "Mumbai is the strongest team in the league. Even if they change their lineup, they are still strong. There have a lot of very good players and a very, very good coach. I continue to say that they’ll top the league in the regular season,”
Mumbai City FC coach Sergio Lobera - "I am very happy and I am very proud of my Indian players. It’s not easy to, as I told you before, working in a short pre-season trying to implement a newer style of play in a new club with 24 new players. I think it’s very important, the level of Indian players if you want to achieve something important. The level of my Indian players is amazing, they are improving day-by-day. Most important is their attitude to want to learn every day. If we want to win trophies, we need the level of Indian players to be high during all the season,"
Defence vs Attack?
The Islanders have the meanest defense along with ATK Mohun Bagan and can open up an 8-point lead at the top of the ISL table if they win this game.
The Nizams have scored 4 goals in each of their last two games, while 6 of these 8 goals came in the second half, which is 80% of their goals in the second half!

"I'm very happy and proud of my players. It's not easy to implement our style of play in a short time,” stated Lobera. “If we want to win trophies, the level of our Indian players has to be high throughout the season."
In their previous encounter, Mumbai walked away victorious with a 2-0 win. But Lobera said that this time it will be a difficult game for his side. Hyderabad's Indian contingent has been impressive in ISL-7 and that's one reason why the club is still in the top half despite their foreign players being inconsistent.
"I'm sure it's going to be a good game. They play a similar style (to ours). They have good Indian players and also very experienced foreign players. It's going to be a different game because they have a full squad now. But the most important thing for us is to focus on our style of play," Lobera said.
Hyderabad coach Manuel Marquez admitted Mumbai was the stronger team and predicted Lobera’s side will end up as champions of the normal season. “Mumbai is of course the strongest team in this league. I continue saying that they will be the champions in the regular season because you know in the play-offs, not always the best team wins."
Marquez said that despite the odds being against them, his team would stick to their style of football. "We can change some details in our game tomorrow but it's important not to lose our style of play. Of course, we have to make some changes in the line-up but it will be a very difficult game,” he said.
