Only the second game in the I-League for these teams and it's all to play for here at Nehru Stadium Coimbatore as Chennai City welcomes Real Kashmir. Check out this preview!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
This stadium uses grass, unlike Real Kashmir's home stadium. The visitors last eleven games on grass have ended in 3 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses.
Real Kashmir have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
