Match Preview

In the latest instalment of the highly anticipated southern derby in Indian football, Chennaiyin FC will host Kerala Blasters at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai on Thursday. 

Despite the Blasters appearing stronger on paper, it’s tough to pick a favourite, considering both teams are languishing in the bottom half of the table (Chennaiyin in 10th with 18 points and Kerala Blasters in 8th with 21), and both are coming into this clash after a loss. 

Chennaiyin, under Owen Coyle, succumbed to a 0-2 away defeat against FC Goa, while Kerala Blasters suffered a narrow 1-2 loss against East Bengal in Kolkata.
