East Bengal need to bounce back from their recent torrid run as they host Chennaiyin FC in a pivotal ISL 2023-24 match on Monday (February 26).

The two teams are in close proximity with each other in the league table. East Bengal find themselves 9th in the table with 15 points in 15 matches, whereas Chennaiyin are 10th, having the same amount of points in an identical number of matches.

East Bengal vs Chennaiyin FC - The Preview

East Bengal suffered a damaging loss at the hands of Jamshedpur FC in the last match. After the ISL restart, the Red and Gold brigade have just one win in five league matches and in desperate need of three points.

Carles Cuadrat will be hoping to turn things around against the Marina Machans, but it will be a huge task as they have never won against the Chennai-based team in their history. But the Spanish coach will be bolstered with the arrival of Saul Crespo as the midfielder has started training and is in contention for selection on Monday.

Cleiton Silva is expected to lead the line for East Bengal, while we may see a return of Sayan Banerjee on the right wing. Carles Cuadrat lamented poor refereeing in the previous match but the goals they conceded had nothing to do with officiating.

For Chennaiyin, the scenario is not that rosy either. They lost the last match against Mumbai City and have leaked goals all season. Owen Coyle will be hoping to rack up an important away victory against the struggling Kolkata giants.

The trio of Connor Shields, Jordan Murray and Rafael Crivellaro need to step up and only then the Blues from Chennai can cause problems in the East Bengal defence. Ankit Mukherjee has served his suspension and is likely to return as right-back for this match. Historically, CFC are unbeaten against their Monday's opponents, and it is an opportunity for them to get a crucial win on the road.
