TEAMS PREVIEW

Chennaiyin FC Preview

In pursuit of their first home win of the season, the Marina Machans suffered yet another setback, as they fell 2-0 to East Bengal, extending their winless streak to four games (2D, 2L). Despite dominating possession with 55%, the home side failed to turn control into clear chances, leaving Owen Coyle with plenty to ponder. The Marina Machans' latest defeat extends their ISL winless run to four matches. With another home game ahead, Owen Coyle faces the challenge of breaking this season’s home jinx.

Chennaiyin’s recent struggles can be traced to their lack of firepower upfront. They've failed to score in three of their last four matches, all resulting in defeats. Alarmingly, they've drawn a blank in five of their 11 games this season, highlighting a worrying trend in front of goal.

Chennaiyin FC's recent performance against Hyderabad FC was disappointing, as they failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage, with Hyderabad playing with 10 men for over 30 minutes. Despite this setback, Chennaiyin has shown offensive prowess, scoring most of their goals between the 46th and 60th minutes. Wilmar Jordan Gil has been instrumental in their attack, leading the team with 6 goals this season.

Chennaiyin Probable XI - Nawaz (GK) , Dessai, Edwards, Lalinpuia, Yumnam, Elsinho, Hnamte, F Choudhary, Shields, Jordan Gil, Yadwad

Hyderabad FC Preview

The Nizams have hit a rough patch, enduring a three-game winless streak, capped by a 0-2 defeat to Goa FC at home. However, their hopes remain alive as both of their victories this season have come on the road, a trend they'll be eager to continue as they hunt for a much-needed turnaround.

The Nizams face a similar struggle as their Wednesday rivals, grappling with a severe goal drought. They've failed to score in five consecutive matches and have gone goalless in 70% of their games this season. Adding to their woes, defensive frailties have seen them concede nine goals in their last three outings, including a crushing six in a single game.

Hyderabad FC has struggled defensively this season, conceding 19 goals in their matches so far. Their attacking prowess has been limited, scoring only 7 goals. The team has a concerning defensive record, having conceded goals in their last five matches. Andrei Alba and Allan Miranda are the leading scorers for Hyderabad FC, each contributing 2 goals to the team's tally.

Hyderabad FC Probable XI - Jongte (GK) ; Srivas, Sapic, Saji, Rafi, Andrei, Adhikari, Ramlunchhunga, Goddard, Rabeeh, Allan Paulista/Correia 

CHENNAIYIN FC vs HYDERABAD FC
Winning Prediction

The Marina Machans have struggled against Hyderabad at home, with a record of one win, one draw, and three losses in their last five encounters. Their most recent match ended in a goalless draw, and given both teams' current goal-scoring form, another draw seems likely. Considering these factors and the historical performance between the two teams, an expected goal (xG) of 1.6 is predicted for this match.
