Chennaiyin hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 5 points and a 8th position in the Indian Super League table. Visiting Odisha FC holds 6th place with 6 pts.
It's no vacation for neither Chennaiyin nor Odisha FC as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It's quite the trip for Odisha FC when visiting Chennaiyin as the cities are 2100 kilometers apart.
