Hyderabad FC will face Chennaiyin FC in an interesting clash in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Sunday.
Hyderabad FC are in high spirits after their comeback in the last match. After trailing 0-2 against Bengaluru FC, goals from Aridane Santana and Fran Sandaza levelled the scores.
Hyderabad FC are unbeaten in their last five games, having drawn four of them. They find themselves in the fifth place on the table but need to earn the maximum number of points to remain there until the end of the league phase.
Not all is going well for Chennaiyin FC, though. With captain Rafael Crivellaro injured and Jakub Sylvestr failing to score, the Marina Machans are in the sixth spot. They have managed to accumulate 16 points from 14 matches.
This game will be crucial for Csaba Laszlo and his men as the fight for the top-four gets tougher. A win in this encounter will bring Chennaiyin FC back into the competition.
