Chennaiyin FC vs Kerala Blasters FC: Head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know ahead of the ISL 2022-23 match

Chennaiyin FC will lock horns with Kerala Blasters FC in a clash of the two southern ISL rivals at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai on Monday, December 19.

The Marina Machans humbled NorthEast United FC 7-3 in their previous encounter.

Led by the league's top-scorer Abdenasser El Khayati, Thomas Brdaric's team have shown incredible attacking firepower, but Chennaiyin FC's concern remains their defense.

Kerala Blasters, on the other hand, are five points ahead of Chennaiyin FC and are in a rich vein of form of their own.

Following a victory over Bengaluru FC in their last game, the Blasters have now won five matches on the trot. A win on Monday would propel them to the third spot in the points table.
