TEAMS PREVIEW

Chennaiyin FC Preview

After back-to-back home defeats, Chennaiyin finally got back to winning ways with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Sporting Delhi. 

An early goal from Farukh Choudhary, set up by Noguera, proved decisive in a game short on clear chances (xG 0.64, xGA 0.73).

More importantly, the clean sheet would have been a major boost after conceding six goals in their previous three home matches. 

Heading into Tuesday’s clash, Clifford Miranda will hope for similar defensive solidity, while also looking for greater attacking output.

Chennaiyin FC Probable XI - Mohammad Nawaz (GK); Renthlei, Pritam Kotal, Elsinho, Mandar Rao Dessai, Mohammed Ali Bemammer, Alberto Noguera, Farukh Choudhary, Irfan Yadwad, Maheson Singh, Chukwu. 

Mohammedan SC Preview

There was a sense of relief in the Mohammedan camp on the last matchday as they finally got off the mark with a 1-1 draw against Odisha FC away from home. 

Adison Singh emerged as the hero, scoring the equaliser after they had fallen behind in the first half.

However, it was only their fourth goal of the campaign, highlighting their ongoing struggles in attack. 

Still, the draw, along with a narrow 1-0 loss to Inter Kashi, suggests signs of recovery after the heavy 7-0 defeat to East Bengal.

That said, the point did little to improve their position, as they remained rooted to the bottom of the table with seven losses from eight matches.

Mohammedan SC Probable XI - Padam Chettri (GK); Zodingliana Ralte, Sajad Hussain Parray, Gaurav Bora, Hira Mondal  Yash Chickro, Tangva Ragui, Lalngaihsaka Makan Winkle Chothe, Lalremsanga Fanai, Adison Singh.  

CHENNAIYIN FC vs MOHAMMEDAN SC
Winning Prediction

Mohammedan can take some confidence from their last visit to this venue, where they emerged victorious. However, their overall away form tells a different story, with five consecutive defeats on the road, something that will certainly boost Chennaiyin’s belief. Unsurprisingly, the odds heavily favour the hosts, with Chennaiyin priced at 1.26 for a win, while Mohammedan are at 8.95 and the draw at 5.15.
