In a bid to keep their top-four hopes alive, Bengaluru FC and Chennaiyin FC lock horns in a Southern Derby in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Friday. The game will be played at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda.
Bengaluru FC ended their 8-match unbeaten run with a 2-0 win over SC East Bengal in their previous fixture. The Blues are undergoing a tactical change under Naushad Moosa.
Chennaiyin FC are an inconsistent side this season and have failed to get regular wins. They have shown glimpses of quality on the pitch but lack finishing in front of the goal.

Bengaluru FC and Chennaiyin FC have played each other on eight occasions in the ISL. The Blues have won four times, while Chennaiyin FC have won thrice. Only one fixture ended in a draw.
