Chennaiyin FC will look forward to picking up full three points and register their first win in the new season at their home ground. Anything less than a win would surely hamper their cause in the ongoing season.

At the pre-match press conference, Materazzi confirmed that they have no injury concerns and all the players are gearing up well for this crucial tie.

FC Goa too will be eyeing a win against Marco Materazzi's side as they are yet to bag a single point in the tournament.

Zico has two major injury concerns. India international striker Robin Singh, who joined the side this season from Delhi Dynamos, is yet to gain match fitness.
