Vs. Atletico de Kolkata, November 20
Traditionally, Atletico have been tough opponents for Chennaiyin through the first couple of seasons of the ISL. In fact, Chennaiyin have never tasted victory against them in the league phase, their only win coming in last year's semis, as mentioned earlier when Habas was in charge.
Under Jose Molina, this year's ATK side are not very different from their past identity, still owning a heavy Spanish influence and a game that is very suited to taking out Chennaiyin. The two sides played earlier at the very beginning of the season in their opening clash that saw an exciting 2-2 draw.
A win looks difficult in this fixture considering the form of the two teams as well. Expect a tough game in this one, and if Chennaiyin do indeed manage to win, it'll be a close one.
