Hyderabad are on 29 points from 16 games but have ATK Mohun Bagan breathing down their neck having the same number of points but with a game in hand.

Powered by Bartholomew Ogbeche, Hyderabad are currently in the midst of their best-ever season. In their last match, they equalled their record points total in a single season of 29 points, in just 16 matches. They have also won eight matches this season, the most they have managed in a single season.
FC Goa, meanwhile, are not mathematically out of the semis race but realistically the defeat to ATK Mohun Bagan the other night virtually ended all their hopes. Goa are in the ninth spot with 18 points from 17 matches.
Head-to-head
FC Goa lead Hyderabad FC 3-0 in the head-to-head record. Two matches between FC Goa and Hyderabad FC have ended in draws, including a 1-1 stalemate in the last meeting.
