Hyderabad FC vs Bengaluru FC: HFC vs BFC Dream11 team prediction fantasy football tips for today's ISL match - November 4, 2023

Hyderabad FC and Bengaluru FC face off in the first match of a doubleheader on Saturday, November 4, at the GMC Balayogi Stadium in Hyderabad.

The hosts find themselves at the bottom of the points table and picked up their first points of the tournament in a scrappy 1-1 draw against Mumbai City FC last week.

Despite the Islanders going a man down early in the game, the Nizams weren't able to capitalize on it and went down 1-0 only to equalize through a Tiri own goal deep in stoppage time. Nevertheless, they'll hope that that goal gives them the momentum to pick up their first win of the season.

Bengaluru FC was last in action a few days back in a 3-2 defeat to Odisha FC, and a painful one at that. After going 2-0 up, they were pegged back 2-2 by the end of the first half before Naorem Roshan Singh got a red card early in the second half, with Amey Ranawade netting the winner a few minutes later.

BFC are in 10th place with one win and one draw in five matches and need to do better.

Hyderabad FC vs Bengaluru FC: Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions

Both teams are expected to make a few changes to their playing XI and that should create plenty of differential options in their midfield and forward ranks. Neither side has been playing as well as they'd like and this should be a pretty even contest.

Sunil Chhetri, Slavko Damjanovic, Ryan Williams, and Joseph Knowles look like the only must-haves for this match, with the likes of Mohammad Yasir, Halicharan Narzary, and Petteri Pennanen offering good differential potential.

Chhetri, Williams, and Knowles also look the best captaincy options.
