The I-League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 6th and 7th respectively.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Aizawl and Chennai City.
This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Chennai City's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Chennai City have performed like this: Played eight matches resulting in 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats with the goal stats 7-10 (scored/conceded).
It's quite the trip for Chennai City when visiting Aizawl as the cities are 3100 kilometers apart.
Aizawl form and stats
A I-League draw at home so far for Aizawl. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from 10 matches. Aizawl have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Chennai City in the I-League last time out and are looking for a win here. A strong away win before that one, visiting Arrows and winning 2-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Aizawl perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Aizawl as a small favourite), we find four games. Aizawl has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 0.
At Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Aizawl has the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Chennai City form and stats
Chennai City have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the I-League were 5 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats from 10 fixtures.
Chennai City are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Aizawl (placed 6th). A 1-3 defeat away at Minerva Punjab before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Chennai City playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 1 Chennai City win, 2 draws and 0 defeats.
Chennai City have the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Aizawl-Chennai City H2H statistics last six meetings regardless of arena: Aizawl 2 wins, Chennai City 3 wins, 1 draw. 2 of these six matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
