Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Chennai City languishing in the 8th position so far. The guesting East Bengal will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
It's quite the trip for East Bengal when visiting Chennai City as the cities are 1600 kilometers apart.
Chennai City form and stats
Only two I-League home games for Chennai City so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
Chennai City's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Al Riffa. A strong away win before that one, visiting Gokulam and winning 3-2.
Chennai City has the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
East Bengal form and stats
1-1-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for East Bengal in their I-League matches away. It's a growing despair in East Bengal as they have recorded three consecutive losses. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as East Bengal have lost on their last two travels.
It might be tough going out on the road again for East Bengal, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Mohun Bagan (placed 1st). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Gokulam.
The travelling fans enjoy East Bengal's attacking play in away games, having scored 6 goals in 4 league matches away. East Bengal have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
