The Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati will host a thrilling Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 fixture as NorthEast United FC takes on Chennaiyin FC on Thursday, October 17. The match kicks off at 7:30 PM IST, with live coverage available on the Sports 18 Network and streaming on JioCinema.
Chennaiyin FC comes into the game riding high after a dramatic 3-2 victory over Odisha FC in their season opener. Farukh Choudhary's brilliant brace secured three vital points for the Marina Machans. Wilmar Jordan Gil has also been in fine form, averaging a goal every 106.6 minutes since the start of last season. With a strong record at home, winning five of their last seven matches at this venue, Chennaiyin will look to continue their momentum.
NorthEast United FC, meanwhile, will face a tough challenge in their away debut. Mohammedan SC's Makan Chothe impressed in their last match with eight successful ball recoveries, a stat he will look to replicate as the team seeks their first ISL win of the season. Despite their offensive efforts in the previous match, NorthEast United will need to tighten their defense if they hope to keep Chennaiyin's potent attack at bay.
In head-to-head encounters, Chennaiyin FC has had the upper hand, but NorthEast United's hunger to make a mark in this competition is evident. Andrey Chernyshov's men will have to overcome their inexperience on the road as they aim to make an early statement in this ISL campaign.
With both teams aiming to secure vital points, this encounter promises to deliver excitement and high stakes. Don't miss live updates and key moments from this ISL 2024-25 clash!
