Chennaiyin FC and Odisha FC lock horns in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Sunday at the Goa Medical College Ground in Bambolim. Both teams are placed in the bottom half of the table.
Chennaiyin FC won their opening game of the season over Jamshedpur FC. The Marina Machans then went on a four-game winless run before winning their second game of the season against FC Goa. After a couple of draws, Chennaiyin FC lost their most recent fixture to Hyderabad FC 1-4. They will miss the services of their ace midfielder Rafael Crivellaro, who has been ruled out of the season with an ankle injury.
