KBFC vs HYD Dream11 Prediction: The two most languid sides face off against each other today.
They have played the 20 encounters in between them and with just the solitary win apiece to their name, for both of our opponents, the ongoing edition of the Indian Super League is all but over. Slumped in the last two positions, Kerala Blasters and Hyderabad have endured a horrendous outing, one they’ll be looking to infuse some life into when they take on each other today.
Winless after their league opener, for Kerala Blasters, nothing has gone right after their first match of the ongoing edition. The side have managed to muster up a horrendous two wins in their home stadium in the past two seasons, a figure which they’ll be looking to set straight come today’s tie.
Elsewhere, defeated 2-1 by Mumbai City the last time around, Mumbai furthered their win-less spree to seven encounters. What has been the biggest plight for the side is their inability to register a clean sheet with the side having failed to have kept a single shut down in the 10 matches they have stepped out in to find themselves in last spot with a sorry 5 points.
“I think it will be a good game of football where the better tactician will win the game. We have to address the issue of keeping clean sheets first. It's not necessary how much ball possession you have or how many chances you create but the scoreline matters at the end of the day,” said Hyderabad’s manager Phil Brown preceding the tie.
KBFC vs HYD Dream11 Prediction
Probable Winner
An encounter between the two most horrendous sides this season, this will be a tie where either side will spare no expense in a bid to amass the full points. What does give Kerala Blasters the advantage in this one is the horrid identity of Hyderabad’s defence, one which should see Kerala Blasters just about squirm their way through to a win on the day.

Dream11 Picks
Goal-keepers for KBFC vs HYD Dream11
His side have shipped the 21 goals this season, a figure which by no means does any kind of justice to Kamaljit Singh this season. The Hyderabad goal-keeper has been in electric touch, pulling off a slew of saves every encounter to see us repose faith in the player for this forthcoming contest.
Defenders for KBFC vs HYD Dream11
With us having two sides who have seen their entire defensive acumen vanish up in smoke this season, letting in 35 goals in 20 encounters in between them, it was only rightful of us to opt for a bare minimum of three names in this segment of our side. We have gone in with the two defenders fro Kerala Blasters with the side clearly the better of the two sides when it comes to defensive picks, having conceded 7 times lesser than their competitors this term.
It sees us move in with both Vlatko Drobarov and Gianni Zuiverloon for this outing while from a laggard Hyderabad defence, we have gone in with the sole pick of Gurtej Singh for this affair.
Mid-fielders for KBFC vs HYD Dream11
We begin with Marcelinho Leite Perreira from Hyderabad with the player having found the goal twice this season. He’s going to be partnered up by Marko Stankovic, undoubtedly two of the most astute attacking players for the side in this edition of the league.
Elsewhere, up against a side which has all too easily crumbled under the slightest bit of pressure, we are shelving out a solid amount of money to get the star performers from Kerala Blasters. In K Prasanth and Sahal Abdul Samad we are opting for an intoxicating brew of picks, two names who can intertwine their calibre in tandem and rip apart the opposition on the day.
Strikers for KBFC vs HYD Dream11
His side’s top scorer with the four goals to his name, Bartholomew Ogbeche was always going to be a instant pick for us for this upcoming encounter. He’s accompanied by Raphael Messi Bouli, another name who has come up with some stellar attacking soirees and looks set to cut short Hyderabad’s lopsided defence today.
Elsewhere, Hyderabad’s top scorer with the four goals to his name Deyvison Rogerio da Silva will be bringing an end to our set of picks for this one.
Captain and vice-captain
Ogbeche will captain our team out for this one while Bouli is our vice-captain.
