East Bengal FC will host Chennaiyin FC for the second match of Matchweek 5 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2022-23 season on Friday, November 4. The two teams will square off at the Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata.
Although Stephen Constantine's side have been dealt a blow in the derby, the Kolkata giants seem to have found their best starting eleven for the competition. The likes of Jordan O'Doherty and Cleiton Silva have what it takes to guide East Bengal FC away from troubled waters.
Meanwhile, Thomas Brdaric's side were also handed their first defeat of the season by FC Goa in their last match. However, the Marina Machans will not be an easy side to take on given the star power in their ranks. The likes of Anirudh Thapa, Julius Ducker and Prasanth K can cause the home team problems in and around their box.
