Two-time champion Chennaiyin FC will lock horns with Hyderabad FC in the season opener of the ISL 2021/22. The two sides will meet at the Athletic Stadium in Bambolim on November 23, Tuesday.
The Chennai-based outfit had a poor run in the previous edition of the tournament, finishing eighth with just 20 points from 20 matches. The Marina Machans have a weak attacking unit when compared to other ISL 2021 teams.
Even during the last season, they managed to score only 17 goals, which was the least by any team in the 2020/21 edition of the Indian-top-tier league.
They have made some changes to their squad, especially with foreign players, to ensure they give their best shot at winning their third trophy this season.
