Bitesize Prediction: Goa vs Hyderabad – 01/05/23

Competition: ISL

Market: Both teams to score

Rating: 4/6 @

Hoping to find a way to the top of the ISL table on Thursday afternoon, Hyderabad will make the trip to Goa for what could be a lively affair.

Starting with the hosts, watching their three-game unbeaten streak come to an abrupt end last time out, Goa will hope to find some stability in 2023. Eventually they will be hit with a 2-1 loss at ATK Mohun Began, Carlos Pena's side have won just a pair of their previous six ISL showdowns - a run that dates back to November 20. Although the Oranges may know they will face a tough test on Thursday afternoon, fans around Fatorda Stadium should be buoyed by some eye-catching form at home. Last seen in front of their own fans picking up a 2-1 win over North East a fortnight ago, Goa have picked up 12 points in their last five ISL games at Margao. It's also worth pointing out that the hosts in midweek have seen four of their last five top-flight clashes end with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, after having to settle for a silver medal last season, Hyderabad are desperate to go even further this time around. Last seen signing off 2022 with a veritable flurry as they headed to a 6-1 home game against North East, the Nizams are in the midst of a purple stain. Knowing that another win on Thursday afternoon would see them overtake title rivals Mumbai, Manolo Marquez's side have now won each of their last four consecutive ISL clashes. Continuing to build a reputation for free displays, it's also worth noting that Hyderabad have scored 14 goals in their four-game winning streak. With four of the last six encounters between the opponents in midweek ending with both sides finding the net, we back a similar result at Fatorda Stadium.

Bet: Both teams to score in Goa v Hyderabad 4/6 for Thursday's ISL game @
