Hyderabad FC vs Mumbai City FC Prediction | 20th Dec | ISL 2020-21

Hyderabad FC will be hosting the leaders Mumbai City FC on Sunday. The Nizams are marching forward with an unbeaten run to their name despite suffering several casualties.

The Islanders, on the other hand, were not at their best as they failed to defeat Jamshedpur FC despite having a man advantage.

A win for the Islanders will take them three points clear at the top, something they must have not expected after their opening game of the ISL this season.
