Hyderabad FC schedule, team news, preview and all you need to know ahead of ISL 2020-21

Hyderabad FC will be looking to have a better season than they did last time when they finished 10th in the table. Hyderabad did not have the best debut season, winning just two games and managing a meagre 10 points from 18 games. The team struggled on both ends of the pitch, conceding a league-high 39 goals while also having the league’s second poorest attack last season.

Ahead of ISL 2020-21, new coach Manuel Marquez has a task on his hands with a Hyderabad FC squad that has just six foreigners in the side. Here is Hyderabad FC's schedule for the new season, team news for the side and the Hyderabad FC squad list.

The arrival of Subrata Paul in goal and Spaniard Odei Onaindia will surely add some much-needed stability to the backline, while the rest of the young Hyderabad FC defenders will be hoping to learn from the experienced duo. Having scored nine goals for Odisha FC last season, Aridane Santana will be expected to do the majority of the scoring for a side that struggled in front of goal last year.

The side will surely miss Marcelinho, with the left-winger having moved to Odisha FC, but the presence of Fran Sandaza and Joel Chianese could help the Hyderabad FC team cope with the Brazilian’s departure. With just six foreign players in their ranks, the coach will be hoping that the Indian contingent steps up to the task this season. Hyderabad FC have had a solid pre-season and will be hoping to emulate the same when they take the field during the 2020-21 ISL campaign.
