TEAMS PREVIEW

Chennaiyin FC Preview

The Marina Machans will look to get their win at their home ground when they face Mohammedan SC. The home team will surely be full of confidence after an amazing win over the Juggernauts and will continue their momentum when they face the team from Kolkata. 

Owen Coyle’s side doesn’t look to have a lot of possession but they need to improve their passing accuracy as the Black Panthers can be lethal on the counterattacks. The Marina Machans are a physical side and will look to make things very difficult for the away team. 

The new signing made by Owen Coyle has impressed everyone till now but they have to be consistent in the long term to be successful.  The home team don’t have any injury concerns going into this fixture and will have all the players available for the match.

Key Players to Watch - (Conor Shields): He is one of the most underrated players in the league, and he always works hard on the pitch for his team, whether in attack or defence. His work ethic makes him special and he always has a good impact on the pitch. He also acts as a leader who always tries to help his teammates in difficult situations. Even though he does not score many goals, his involvement in the goals is surely there on the pitch. He surely will be important for the Marina Machans this season. 

Stats that matter - Chennaiyin FC are ranked 10th in ball possession with 40%. They average 23 shots and 4 corners per game. Farukh Choudhary is the top scorer with 2 goals this season.

Mohammedan SC Preview

This will be the first away match for the Black Panther in the ISL. They will look to put up a good fight when they face the Marina Machans. The head coach pointed out in the post-match conference that they didn’t have a long preseason for this season and that's why they are struggling a bit, but overall they need to improve their finishing in the final third to get positive results.

Against Goa, the Black Panthers were the better team but due to their poor finishing, they failed to convert chances and seal the match for them. They also need to work on their shape of defence, which sometimes gives the opponents too much space and time to exploit. 

Key Player to Watch - (Franca): His performance against FC Goa in the last match was amazing, he surprised everyone with his intensity. His pace, movements, and agility make him very dangerous on the pitch. Even though he has not scored till now, he will surely be a player to watch out for this season. He troubled the FC Goa defence throughout the match and against Chennaiyin FC as well he can do the same. Franca will surely help Mohammedan score goals this season. 

Stats that matter - Mohammedan SC are ranked 9th in ball possession with 43.5%. They average 15.5 shots and 3.5 corners per game. A. Gomez is the top scorer with 1 goal this season. On the defensive side, the team makes an average of 12 clearances and 2 saves per game, the 8th best in the season. They have managed 12 tackles and 6 interceptions but conceded 1 goal per game.

Mohammedan SC Lineup (4-3-3): P Chettri, Z Ralte, J Adjei, G Bora, V Chhakchhuak (Defenders); A Gomez, M Kasimov, A Singh (Midfielders); L Fanai, Franca, M Chothe
