After suffering a 3-2 defeat against FC Goa last week, Chenniayin FC will take on NorthEast United at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at home. Facing the side led by Head Coach John Gregory, the home side needs to win the game to boost their morale. The side can take confidence in the fact that they managed to take their first game down to the wire after going down 3-0 in the first half. For NorthEast United, who started their campaign with a 0-0 draw against newcomers Jamshedpur FC, it could all be about sustaining the attacking force of Chennai which includes the likes of Jeje Lalpekjlua and Mohammed Rafi. The visitors will hope to maintain their unbeaten record at the venue, but it may prove to be tougher this season.
