Vs NorthEast United, November 26
After an impressive start that saw them lead the league for a good time, NorthEast United have spiralled out of control to lose five games on the bounce, the last of which came away at struggling FC Goa after being a goal up and a man up.
That has pushed them to sixth position, currently level on points with Chennaiyin. Nelo Vingada just hasn't been able to figure out what's happened to his side and if they don't set right their course, this game should be another favourable one where three points are up for grabs.
Historically, Chennaiyin have not had a favourable record against the Highlanders, but they bucked that trend and got their first win against them when the two sides met earlier in Guwahati, a narrow 1-0 win courtesy a brilliant Davide Succi volley. All said and done; this is a favourable matchup.
