Chennaiyin form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Chennaiyin's two home games in the Indian Super League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Tilak Maidan Stadium.

The Chennaiyin supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Odisha FC in Indian Super League and win 2-1. Midfielder Singh was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.4 (out of ten) in that game. Singh hit three key passes and had 32 successful passes (of 36 total).

Heartbreak before that as Chennaiyin lost 0-1 at Mumbai City's place.

Kerala Blasters form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most clean sheets (2) away in Indian Super League, on their Indian Super League travels is 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

It's the second away game in a row for Blasters, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Mumbai City (placed 1st) in the Indian Super League last time out. Attacker Díaz got a player rating of 8.23 in the game. "Man of the match" Díaz scored one goal, served one assist and hit four key passes.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus East Bengal that ended 1-1.

Blasters are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, three draws and three defeats. From a total of ten matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Blasters are hosting Jamshedpur in the Indian Super League only four days away.

Kerala Blasters are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 5 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Blasters have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Chennaiyin victories, six draws and two Kerala Blasters wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
