Chennaiyin FC vs FC Goa Prediction: Chennaiyin are more resilient in the season so far

Chennaiyin will welcome Goa in the third game week of the Indian Super League at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Chennai. Both teams are undefeated in the ISL campaign as of now and they will be looking to continue the positive momentum. 

Chennaiyin conceded early in the second game against Bengaluru FC but they came back strongly to level up the game at 1-1. Prashant scored the goal for the Marina Machans in the extra time of the first half. Chennai has not kept in both the games which can be an area of improvement. They registered more shots against the strong Bengaluru side which will boost their confidence given the previous two seasons have not been up to the mark. They will be looking to continue the impressive form in this game as well.

 Devansh Dabas (GK), Ajith Kumar, Vafa Hakhamaneshi, Fallou Diagne, Narayan Das, Prasanth K, Jiteshwor Singh, Anirudh Thapa, Julius Duker, Rahim Ali, Petar Sliskovic.

Goa had a strong start to the season yet again with a win against East Bengal. Brandon Fernandes along with the usual suspect Edu Bedia were on the scoresheet in Bengal. They left it pretty late to grab the winner in the fourth minute past the regulation time. Alvaro Vazquez is enjoying the attacking role with his new franchise. Goa will be aiming to become the first team to win the first two games this season. 

Dheeraj Singh (GK), Seriton Fernandes, Anwar Ali, Marc Valiente, Aiban Dohling, Redeem Tlang, Edu Bedia, Brandon Fernandes, Glan Martins, Iker Guarrotxena, Alvaro Vazquez.

The last time these two sides met at this venue saw Chennaiyin come away with a 4-1 victory. Both teams are figuring out the best squad at the moment and they look very even on paper. With the resilience shown by Chennaiyin in the last game, we expect them to win the game otherwise a draw will be the most realistic result. We expect more than 2.5 goals in the game as both teams like to score plenty of goals.
