Chennai City and Arrows should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Arrows have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
