Chennaiyin challenge East Bengal for fame and football prosperity.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Chennaiyin and East Bengal.
East Bengal have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Chennaiyin form and stats
Chennaiyin are returning here after visiting NorthEast United in a Indian Super League game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Lallianzuala Chhangte and Anirudh Thapa scored the goal(s). Midfielder Lallianzuala Chhangte was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.53 (out of ten) in that game. Chhangte scored one goal and hit two key passes.
In the game before, an away victory match versus Hyderabad with a 1-0 scoreline.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Chennaiyin have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won two times, drawn five and lost three.
East Bengal form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Indian Super League ended in defeat. Last season East Bengal had these away match statistics: Played 10; won 2, drew 3 and lost 5.
Bengal are travelling again after losing away to Odisha FC in their previous match (4-6). As you can tell from the result, the match against Odisha FC was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 10 goals, will the fun continue today? Attacker Darren Sidoel got a player rating of 7.14 in the game. "Man of the match" Sidoel scored one goal.
A loss against ATK Mohun Bagan was the result prior to that, in a home game.Bengal are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, two draws and two defeats. From a total of four matches.
After this away game East Bengal return home for a Indian Super League game against Goa. That game is only four sleeps after this.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, East Bengal has managed 4 goals and let in 6 from 1 match.
