Chennaiyin FC look for win vs struggling Bengaluru FC

BAMBOLIM: Chennaiyin FC will hope to get back to winning ways when they take on arch-rivals Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the GMC Stadium here on Friday.

After a brilliant start to the season, trouncing Jamshedpur FC, Csaba Laszlo's men endured a frustrating draw against Kerala Blasters, a game in which they were forced to split points despite clearly being the better team. With Bengaluru struggling to develop momentum after two straight draws, Chennaiyin will fancy their chances of a win.

Previous matches between Chennaiyin and Bengaluru have always been heated affairs with the emotions between the two sets of fans usually adding to the rivalry. Laszlo may have just started his stint at Chennaiyin but the significance of the fixture is not lost on him.

He will look to his defence to provide the platform for his attackers to grab the three points on offer. With just one goal conceded in their two matches, the Chennaiyin defence has made their best-ever start to the ISL. The likes of Eli Sabia and Enes Sipovic have looked regal at the back. IANS
