On Sunday, February 12, Chennaiyin FC and East Bengal will face off at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Eighth-placed Marina Machans and ninth-placed East Bengal are completely out of the playoff picture and will play for pride.
The team led by Thomas Brdaric hasn’t won since 2023, and they haven’t had a win in more than eight weeks. They took an early lead, lost twice, and Kerala Blasters won the Southern derby away from home. With 33 goals conceded in just 17 games, it’s safe to say that their defense hasn’t been up to the challenge this season.
On the other hand, after a six-goal thriller on Wednesday (February 8), East Bengal and NorthEast United shared the victory. The team with its headquarters in Kolkata is just as bad at the back as Chennaiyin FC, allowing 34 goals in the ISL 2022-23. By hitting the back of the net twelve times, Cleiton Silva has scored more than half of the team’s goals.
