When the draw was out, everyone expected Bengaluru FC to battle out against FC Goa in the semi-finals of the Super Cup in a repeat of the finals. However, Chennai City FC's triumph over the ISL champions meant the fans will witness a clash between two teams who rely on possession-based and one-touch football.

While Chennai City FC has been able to win their previous two games despite surrendering possession, their Spanish Armada ensured they made the most out of it whenever they got the ball. Akbar Nawas has instilled within the players, even the local Tamil Nadu players who played their first season in top-flight in football, a sense of calmness when holding the ball.

The same can be said about Sergio Lobera, who previously coached Barcelona 'C'. If two teams with similar ideologies enter the pitch, only one of their plans materialize and the other's gains no fruition. On Tuesday, the game would be decided on individual battles and the team which blinks first will lose the contest.
