Bengaluru have managed 3 home wins up until now, Chennaiyin have won 3 away. Which team upgrades their results after this one?

Insights:
  • Bengaluru have the fewest scored goals (5) at home in Indian Super League
  • Chennaiyin have scored at least twice as many goals away as Bengaluru have scored home.

These teams have little in common geographically as Chennaiyin have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
