Chennaiyin vs NorthEast United H2H

NorthEast United to win: Why is this a good bet?

• The Highlanders are in the 4th place with 26 points
• Chennaiyin are in the 8th place with 18 points
• NorthEast United are unbeaten in their last 6 games
• CFC have lost 2 of their last 4 league games

NorthEast in an interesting position

Even though NorthEast United are in the playoffs zone, they still need to continue winning to avoid losing the spot to Goa, Bengaluru, and Jamshedpur.

All these teams are trailing behind just a couple of points.

The Highlanders do have ample time in their hands – they still have a good 3 matches remaining, unlike many other teams who have already played 18 games so far.

The team is definitely thriving under the interim manager Khalid Jamil, who led the side to some brilliant victories against ATK Mohun Bagan and Mumbai City FC last month.

As for their recent few fixtures, they were held to back to back draws by Goa FC and Hyderabad FC.

In their last matchday, however, they made amends with a 3-1 win over Odisha FC.

With this momentum, the side will now look to cement their grip in the top four.

Chennaiyin, out of the race

With 18 points and just 2 games to go, Chennaiyin FC are mathematically out of the playoffs.

It is definitely a bitter end for them, given that they started the last season on a similar note and moved on to reach the final after a heroic turnaround in form.

Even though the side has conceded 19 goals – the fourth-lowest in the league, they haven’t been able to rake up as many wins to move up in the table.

Most recently, the Marina Machans held FC Goa to a 2-2 draw in a game that should have been won by them.

Before that, they were beaten by Jamshedpur FC and drew 0-0 with Bengaluru FC.

Csaba Laszlo’s men are now playing for pride. The first leg of this game ended in a goalless draw.

Given the form of the two teams and the urgency for the Highlanders, it is unlikely to happen again.

Both Teams to Score: Why is this a good bet?

CFC and NEUFC have both conceded in 4 of their last 5 games.

In all probability, this game should follow along with the same pattern.

Over 2.5 goals in the match: Why is this a good bet?

Chennaiyin may not have produced a lot of goals this season but they do have the talent to make lives difficult for their opposition.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the CFC boys manage to find the odd net in the game.

Conversely, it is not too much of a stretch to imagine NorthEast score a few goals in this game.

Their strikers are in a brilliant form and they should be able to get through.
