Chennaiyin FC vs Bengaluru FC Preview

It will be interesting to see how the relatively young squad of Bengaluru FC react with Renedy Singh at helm as the interim manager of the club while the hunt is on for a permanent manager. This also serves perfect chance for Chennaiyin FC to strike while the iron is hot.

They had drew their previous three games with Jamshedpur FC, Kerala Blasters, and East Bengal FC, respectively; however, they have an opportunity to win morale against their southern rivals and pick up three points against Bengaluru FC.

Although Owen Coyle and his team have been close to winning for a while, defeating the Blues should give them a strong boost of confidence because of the groundwork that has been established by a string of draws thus far.

Only three points separate the eighth-place Marina Machans from sixth-place NorthEast United FC in the standings. After some successful results, they can move into those spots, but first and foremost, they must strengthen their defense.

After nine games this season, Chennaiyin FC has let up 18 goals, which is the second-most of any ISL edition thus far, behind 20 goals in the previous campaign. Ten of those goals-tied with Bengaluru FC for the most among all teams-have been given up in the first half of their games.
