FC Pune City are set to host in front of their home crowd Chennaiyin FC at the Shri Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Balewadi for the 28th match in the Indian Super League.
Pune are third on the table with 10 points, one less than that of second-placed Chennaiyin, and a win for either of the two sides will see a new leader for the league, putting Atletico de Kolkata aside for the first time in the tournament.
Pune are coming from two straight wins against Atletico de Kolkata and NorthEast United FC while Chennayin, on the other hand, have drawn their previous two fixtures.
Pune go into the game on the back of a remarkable win away to Atlético de Kolkata, becoming the first team to inflict defeat on the current league leaders. For Chennai, this is the third consecutive game where they will go into the fixture knowing a win will take them to the top of the league. However, the previous two both ended in draws, and Chennai will be looking to get back to winning ways.
