Manolo’s men will look to make a strong start to the group stage with tough games coming up in quick succession.
TRAU FC started their campaign with a 3-1 defeat to NEROCA FC in an Imphal derby on Thursday, last week.
With plenty of quality in their ranks, L. Nandakumar Singh’s side will look to bounce back with a strong performance against Hyderabad in this clash.
The conditions in Imphal could also play a role on Monday as the threat of rainfall looms large over this clash.
The game kicks off at 3 pm IST, and will be telecasted live on Sports 18 and streamed on VOOT app.
