Indian Super League, Round 3
As Hyderabad FC begin a packed month of December with their first home game in the ISL, against Jamshedpur FC, we dig out the key figures ahead of a promising Wednesday evening at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco.
154 touches
The number of touches our right-back Asish Rai has had in the first two games of the season. Add to it his defensive contributions to keeping consecutive clean sheets, the 21-year-old has a big job ahead of him against Owen Coyle’s side.
9 attempts
Number of attempts Aridane Santana has had over the course of two matches. He only has one goal to show for it but has come close on a couple of occasions. Could be the danger man for the visitors in this game.
30 crosses
Number of crosses we have sent in the box in our first two matches. Which has resulted in quite a few chances for our front line. Jamshedpur have a strong backline and our wide-men could be key to breaking it.
1 booking
Both Hyderabad FC and Jamshedpur FC have picked up just one booking each so far this season. While Aridane Santana’s lazy challenge in the final minutes of the game against Odisha is the only yellow we saw, Jamshedpur’s keeper TP Rehenesh saw red for handling the ball just outside the box in their last game. They are the only team yet to be shown a yellow card so far in the ISL.
