Chennaiyin FC will face NorthEast United FC in Match 68 of ISL 2021-22 on Saturday evening at PJN Stadium Fatorda, Goa.
The Marina Machans, led by Bozidar Bandovic, are in seventh place with 15 points after four victories, three draws and four defeats. Chennaiyin FC have been in a rut recently, but they have much too much quality and promise to be written off just yet.
Chennaiyin's goal-scoring difficulties have been laid bare this season, with the team scoring just 10 goals in 11 ISL games.
The Highlanders, on the other hand, have struggled to replicate their previous season's success, and currently lie in last place with only two wins. Their defense has been a source of concern all season.
Both parties will enter this match in spotty form. Chennaiyin will attempt to secure their playoffs spot, while the Highlanders will look to win this game.
