Chennaiyin FC lock horns with East Bengal FC in this Indian Super League (ISL) 2022-23 game. The match will be played at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai and is slated to begin from 7:30 PM (IST).
The Red and Gold Brigade would be banking on their skipper and leading goal-scorer in this edition of the ISL, Cleiton Silva to produce some marvellous performances. The Brazilian forward has scored 12 goals so far and tops the goal-scoring charts in ISL 2022-23.
In the last game against NorthEast United FC (NEUFC), Cleiton Silva netted a brace and East Bengal FC’s new striker Jake Jervis netted his maiden goal. His bicycle kick goal was a standout goal and sent the entire footballing community of India to a frenzy.
Chennaiyin FC on the other hand haven’t won a game for the past 8 matches. They would be extra motivated to win this game and register their first victory in a pretty long time.
In the reverse fixture, Chennaiyin FC had won the game against Stephen Constantine’s side, 1-0. Vafa Hakhamaneshi had netted the goal for the Chennai Machans. He also received a red card in the game. Sarthak Golui of East Bengal FC too received a red card in that particular game at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata in November.
In this article, we take a look at the history and statistics between the two clubs in ISL:
