Hyderabad Form

Hyderabad made it four draws in a row on Thursday in an entertaining 2-2 match against Bengaluru.

The Nizams trailed 2-0 to Sunil Chhetri and Leon Augustine Asokan goals. But Aridane and Fran Sandaza scored inside the last four minutes to earn a point.

Hyderabad have drawn 0-0 with ISL leaders Mumbai City, 1-1 with bottom side Odisha and 0-0 by Jamshedpur in their last four matches.

Despite the run of draws, Manolo Marquez's side still occupy a top four spot in the Indian Super League standings.

A six-game unbeaten run started with the 4-1 win over Chennaiyin and also includes a 4-2 victory over NorthEast United.

The quick turnaround from Thursday's game may mean Manolo Marquez opts to shuffle his pack.

Chennaiyin have only won once since before Christmas. That was a 2-1 win over bottom side Odisha.

They have drawn five of the last eight matches including the stalemate with Mumbai City.
