Kolkata, Feb. 25 -- East Bengal FC will host Hyderabad FC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK), Kolkata, in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 on Wednesday.

East Bengal FC have won twice in a row coming into this match. However, their prospects of qualifying for the top six are extremely difficult. Currently at 24 points from 21 games, even three wins from here will take them to 33, just one more than the currently sixth-positioned Mumbai City FC (32), who also have as many games in hand (currently played 21).

The situation is not so bright for Hyderabad FC, who have won and lost twice each in the previous five games, placing themselves in the penultimate position with 17 points from 21 encounters.
