The I-League season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Real Kashmir and Chennai City promises to be an interesting one.
The hosts Real Kashmir saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the I-League. That game was an away game at TRAU, so at least Real Kashmir are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Chennai City have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 2-2-4 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.
It's quite the trip for Chennai City when visiting Real Kashmir as the cities are 3000 kilometers apart.
Real Kashmir form and stats
Real Kashmir manager D. Robertson and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus TRAU (placed 10th) in the I-League. A 1-1 draw away before that, with East Bengal the opponent.
Chennai City form and stats
Still no away game victory in the I-League for Chennai City with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
Chennai City delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against NEROCA (placed 8th) in their previous match; a I-League game. Before that, Chennai City travelled to Aizawl and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
It looked so good for Chennai City vs NEROCA, but the job was not completed and two points were lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
It's early days yet, but Chennai City has scored 2 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Real Kashmir, 0 draws and 0 wins for Chennai City. Over 2,5 goals: 0 times; under 2,5 goals: 2 games.Top Goalscorers
