East Bengal are welcoming Chennaiyin for another important game after their 1-1 result against 9th-placed Kerala Blasters.
- East Bengal has the the worst goal difference (-8) in Indian Super League
- Chennaiyin have scored at least twice as many goals away as East Bengal have scored home.
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!
These teams have little in common geographically as Chennaiyin have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
East Bengal form and stats
East Bengal have less points than they have played home games in the Indian Super League so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point. With seven home Indian Super League games in a row without a win, the Bengal fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the TRAU game long ago, can be stopped today.
An away draw last time out for Bengal, facing Kerala Blasters in a game that ended 1-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Hyderabad (2-3).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the East Bengal at home in the league. 0 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Chennaiyin form and stats
Playing away, Chennaiyin have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 1 defeat in the Indian Super League this season.
Chennaiyin play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Goa (placed 7th). Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to NorthEast United.
Chennaiyin goalie Vishal Kaith was high and low in the Goa game, contributing seven saves towards the victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager C. László when Rahim Ali scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.
After this away game Chennaiyin return home for a Indian Super League game against ATK Mohun Bagan. That game is only three sleeps after this.
