Match number 108 of the Hero Indian Super League will see the two-time ISL Champions host NorthEast United at the Marina Arena on Friday, February 24, 7:30 PM IST. In the reverse fixture earlier this season, NorthEast United FC were beaten 7-3 in their own backyard.
The Marina Machans have found form recently and are on a two-match winning streak and will be hoping to finish the season on a high in what will most likely be their third consecutive eighth placed league finish.
Chennaiyin need to win by at least four goals or more to finish above FC Goa at the 7th place. NorthEast United, meanwhile, languish at the bottom of the table with five points from 19 matches. The team will hope to finish their season on a high.
In terms of team news, Chennaiyin will continue to be without the services of Petar Sliskovic and Prasanth Karuthadathkuni while Abdenasser El Khayati and Jockson Dhas are uncertain. On the other hand, NorthEast United are said to have a full squad.

Chennaiyin vs NorthEast United Prediction
Talking about the recent performances of both these sides, Brdaric’s men have fared much better, and only if they could have shored up their defensive frailties, the Marina Machans may well have been in contention for a playoff berth.
They managed to score 32 goals during the season, the fourth-highest tally in the league, but they also conceded 34 times, only the Highlanders allowed more goals than the two-time ISL winners.
Having won both of their past two matches, they come into this fixture on a high. On the other hand, Annese’s side who were previously coached by Marco Balbul never really got going in the league, and have remained bottom since the start.
Chennaiyin vs NorthEast United Head-To-Head
The past record between these clubs stands pretty even. These two sides have squared off on 17 occasions in the league and both sides have won 6 matches each, while five games ended all square. The reverse fixture earlier this season was hardly even as the Marina Machans hammered their opponents 7-3.
