With their 1 point advantage in the league table, Chennaiyin fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Hyderabad.
- Chennaiyin has the fewest scored goals in the second half (2) in Indian Super League
- Hyderabad have scored at least twice as many goals away as Chennaiyin have scored home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Chennaiyin form and stats
Chennaiyin have played three Indian Super League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Chennaiyin drew their last game, also a home match. ATK Mohun Bagan (placed 1st) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Preceding that game was the away draw at East Bengal that finished 2-2.
The lack of attacking qualities in Chennaiyin means that they have only scored 0 goals in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively Chennaiyin have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Hyderabad form and stats
As the visiting team in Indian Super League matches, Hyderabad have produced an overall stat of 1-2-1 so far. Recent form does not give Hyderabad much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Chennaiyin will be a tough nut to crack.
Home advantage was not enough for Hyderabad in their previous game, as they lost their Indian Super League-match, hosting Goa, 1-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Kerala Blasters wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
Late heartbreak for Hyderabad in the Goa match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Indian Super League trip to NorthEast United.
Goals are few and far between in Hyderabad's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. It's not easy to score on Hyderabad as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
As for the last two games between these two teams, there's two Chennaiyin victories, zero draws and zero Hyderabad wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, zero matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
