Chennaiyin FC host Hyderabad FC in Match 5 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2021-22 at the Goa Medical College Ground in Bambolim on Tuesday.
The Marina Machans struggled at the fag end of the previous season and failed to score the required number of goals due to a depleted strike force.
However, they have had a change in personnel along with the arrival of quality playmakers from Eastern Europe that should rekindle Chennaiyin FC's play-off aspirations.
Hyderabad FC narrowly missed out on the play-offs position the previous season. However, the Nizams arguably have the finest bunch of Indian youngsters and with the presence of the likes of Juanan, Edu Garcia and Bartholomew Ogbeche in the squad, they should make it to the top four this season.
