On Monday, December 19, Chennaiyin FC will play their fierce rivals Kerala Blasters at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai. In their previous matches, Marina Machans defeated NorthEast United 7-3, while Manjappada defeated Bengaluru FC 3-2. Both teams will enter this game with high morals.
The two-time winners of the Indian Super League have struggled to win against good teams, losing to FC Goa, Mumbai City FC, Odisha FC, and Hyderabad FC. This season, Chennaiyin has also struggled with fitness and has lost a number of key players to injuries. It could be because their previous coaches, Csaba Laszlo and Bozidar Bandovic, never had them play at this level of intensity.
Thomas Brdaric, on the other hand, is unique. He is draining the players of all their energy. In contrast, Ivan Vukomanovic has done a good job of adjusting to the Indian Super League since taking over for the Kerala-based team in 2021. After finishing as runners-up in the previous season, his team has made a respectable start to the 2022-23 ISL season.
Despite playing Chennaiyin FC away from home, the visitors, who have won five games in a row, will start the game as favorites. However, they have never defeated their raucous Chennai neighbors. It will be a fascinating meeting. With six victories from 18 games, Chennaiyin FC leads this match. The clubs have shared the spoils seven times, while the Kerala Blasters have won five times.
