TEAMS PREVIEW

Bengaluru FC Preview

Gerard Zaragoza's 2024/25 season with Bengaluru has been a wild ride—blistering wins early on, a dip in form, and a frustrating six-game winless streak. But the Blues have rediscovered their spark, bouncing back with commanding victories over Jamshedpur (3-0) and Northeast (2-0). The streak needs to continue if they are to keep their playoff hopes alive. 

The Blues control their own destiny, needing just eight points from four games to secure a playoff spot outright. A win against NorthEast United FC would ease the pressure, leaving them just four points away with a crucial head-to-head advantage over the Highlanders. However, to clinch the coveted second spot and a direct semifinal berth, the Blues must win all their remaining games and hope Goa and Jamshedpur slip up along the way.

Ryan Williams has been one of the stars for Blues this season and he did have a wonderful time against Chennaiyin last time. Williams was a game-changer in the reverse fixture, providing two assists and a goal in Chennai. In addition, he’s been a key contributor with six goals and four assists in 15 appearances this season. 

Stats that matter

1. Bengaluru has been tough to beat  at home this season, with only two losses—both coming in their last three games.
2. Alberto Nogeuera has been in a rich vein of form as he has scored three goals in the last two games.
3. Sunil Chhetri is Bengaluru’s top scorer with 11 goals.
4. Bengaluru has scored 33% of their goals between 76-90 minutes. 

Bengaluru FC Probable XI - Gurpreet Singh Sandhu (GK); Nikhil Poojary, Rahul Bheke, Chinglensena, N Singh, S Wangjam, P Capo, Naguera, Ryan Williams, Chhetri, Mendez

Chennaiyin FC Preview

It's not been a season to remember for the Marina Machans. Two-time ISL champions Chennaiyin FC are struggling at eighth in the table, largely due to poor home form, with just two wins. However, solid away performances and recent momentum keep their playoff hopes alive—albeit as an outside chance.

For a playoff shot, Chennaiyin must win all their remaining games, including NorthEast United FC, while hoping the Highlanders lose twice, the Shers drop three points, Kerala Blasters lose four, and Odisha FC drop five in the run-in.

Bengaluru arrives with back-to-back clean sheets, making Chennaiyin’s playmaker Conor Shields' role crucial on Tuesday. With a goal and eight assists in 19 games, the Scotsman leads the league in chances created this season.

Stats that matter

1. Chennaiyin FC has managed to win only once in their last five matches on the road.
2. Chennaiyin FC scores 28% of their goals between the minutes of 46-60.
3. Wilmar Jordan is Chennaiyin’s top scorer with 10 goals. 

Chennaiyin FC Probable XI - Mohammed Nawaz (GK), Vignesh Dakshinamurthy, Elsinho, Ryan Edwards, Pritam Kotal, Lalrinliana Hnamte, Jitender Singh, Connor Shields, Kiyan Nassiri, Irfan Yadwad, Wilmar Jordan Gil
