Chennaiyin FC will lock horns with Jamshedpur FC in match no. 96 of the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco.
The Marina Machans are eight points behind their opponents and it is technically impossible for them to catch up in the race for the top four. However, the side is expected to put up a tough fight against the Men of Steel like in their previous match against Odisha FC.
Owen Coyle's side have registered wins against Kerala Blasters FC and Mumbai City FC in their last two games. The Red Miners will look to add to their tally as they pursue a top-of-the-table finish in the ISL.
