CFC vs NEUFC team preview

Chennaiyin FC and NorthEast United are both far off from the playoffs berth. Chennaiyin are currently 8th with just 12 points after 11 games. Five losses already mean that the Chennai based club cannot afford to lose more ground in the race for a top-four finish. They won their last league fixture against Hyderabad FC. Nerijus Valskis scored a brace while Rafael Crivellaro added another in a comfortable 3-1 win for Owen Coyle's men.

NorthEast United on the other hand, continue to struggle in the league. The Highlanders are winless in their last six games (D3, L3). They are 9th with 11 points after 10 games. Jose Leudo will be unavailable for the tie after he picked up a red card against FC Goa. Former Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan is out for the season. NorthEast United beat Chennaiyin FC 1-0 in their previous league meeting back in January 2019.
