Goa: Chennaiyn FC will face Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the GMC Stadium in Goa on Friday(December 4). Chennaiyin will come into the game after their 0-0 draw against Kerala Blasters with head coach Csaba Laszlo hoping to take the full three points and make their statements clear about their intent of finishing in the top four of the table.
Rafael Crivellaro and Anirudh Thapa have been in good form but it’s the side’s inability to find the back of the net which has been a concern. However striker Jakub Sylvester, despite missing the spot-kick against Kerala will be the go-to man of Chennaiyin for goals.
On the other hand, Bengaluru FC had a scratchy start to the campaign with just two draws to their name. Despite having some big names in the ranks, they have not been seen in their usual best. A former champion, Bengaluru will hope to return in their winning ways.
Although have maintained a majority of ball possession, somehow they couldn’t capitalise on that. Meanwhile, Sunil Chhetri will be looking to open his account in the goal-scoring charts while Cleiton Silva will be a crucial man for the Blues alongside Eric Paartalu and Juanan.
Chennaiyin FC possible playing XI : Vishal Kaith(GK) Reagan Singh, Eli Sabia, Enes Sipovic, Jerry Lalrinzuala, Edwin Sydney Vanspaul, Anirudh Thapa; Esmael Goncalves, Rafael Crivellaro, Lallianzuala Chhangte, Jakub Sylvester
Bengaluru FC possible playing XI: Gurpreet Singh Sandhu(GK), Juanan, Fran Gonzalez, Harmanjot Khabra, Ashique Kuruniyan, Erik Paartulu, Suresh Singh Wangjam, Udanta Singh, Cleiton Silva, Kristian Opseth, Sunil Chhetri
