Chennaiyin FC vs Mohun Bagan SG Prediction: Chennaiyin are yet to win a game in the league

Chennaiyin FC will welcome Mohun Bagan SG in Gameweek 3 of the Indian Super League at Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium. Chennaiyin are yet to win a game in the league. Who will win? 

Owen Coyle's team has had a disappointing beginning to the season, suffering defeats against Odisha FC and NorthEast United FC in their initial matches. They are the only team in the competition that has not managed to score a single goal, and their performance in the attacking third has been uncertain. Returning to their home ground for the first time this season, the Marina Machans are eager to secure their first points. Nevertheless, they face a formidable challenge in the shape of Juan Ferrando's MBSG.

Samik Mitra (GK), Aniket Mukherjee, Bikash Yumnam, Ryan Edwards, Aakash Sangwan, Jiteshwor Singh, Cristian Battocchio, Farukh Choudhary, Rafael Crivellaro, Rahim Ali, Connor Shields.

The Mariners are one of only two teams in the league that have not dropped any points so far. They have moved ahead of Kerala Blasters, primarily due to their slim advantage in goal difference. The club's new signings have quickly adapted and are contributing effectively. The Green and Maroon Brigade seems to be maintaining their momentum. Mohun Bagan possesses a formidable attacking lineup led by players like Jason Cummings, Hugo Boumous, and Armando Sadiku, making them a formidable challenge for the struggling Chennaiyin side.

However, Coach Ferrando remained cautious and emphasized the importance of showing respect to their opponents in Saturday's match. 

Vishal Kaith (GK), Anwar Ali, Rafael Yuste, Brendan Hamill, Manvir Singh, Anirudh Thapa, Sahal Abdul Samad, Subashish Bose, Hugo Boumous, Liston Colaco, Jason Cummings.

Considering their present form and the talent they have, Mohun Bagan Super Giant appears to be the strong favorites in this matchup. Nonetheless, as Juan Ferrando himself acknowledged, Chennaiyin is not likely to be underestimated. Owen Coyle has a track record of success, and his teams tend to perform well, especially when people least anticipate it. Expect over 2.5 goals in the game.
