Hyderabad FC (HFC) will play Kerala Blasters FC (KBFC) in the final of the eighth edition of the Indian Super League (ISL 2021-22) at the Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Sunday.
For Manolo Marquez's Hyderabad, it is the club's first final in the history of the competition. It has impressed throughout the season, scoring the highest number of goals (43) amongst all teams.
The Nizams have also impressed with their defence this season. They have conceded just 23 goals, the second-lowest number of goals after Jamshedpur FC (21).
As far as the team news is concerned, Joel Chianese and Asish Rai are still not 100 percent match fit. Marquez will take a call on their inclusion before the match.
