Analyzing the Indian Super League Table

Today at the eve of the 40th Indian Super League match day, we here at 'The Football Mind' look at the table and try analyzing the prospective winners of the first ISL.

We look at the current teams in the top three as we have reached a point where we could predict who can make the semi finals or the knock out stage.

1) CHENNAIYIN FC ( 5W, 4D, 1L )

The side managed by Marco Materazzi have managed to open a three point gap, this is the first time in the Indian Super League that a team has a clear lead at the top. Chennai side have undoubtedly been the best side in the league. Crisp passing, quick counter attacking side their major feature is their defence. Chennai fc have built their success on the basis of their stern defence. Mendy Materazzi and Singh have been a stone wall. On the other hand, Elano Blumer has lit up the league with his blistering technique. He has given sides an edge over the other teams. Chennai are undoubtedly the best and more rounded off team in the league.

Winning Chances: 9/10

2) ATLETICO DE KOLKATA ( 4W, 4D, 2L )

Another team who have looked almost flawless, the Kolkata side sit second on the table as of now. They lost their first game to Pune after going unbeaten in their opening six games. But then they have slipped again to give away their top stop to Chennaiyin fc. Luis Garcia and Fikru have been inspiring for the side. Fikru has made himself seen as the striker with a physical presence bull dozed the defenders. Former Liverpool star and now Kolkata player Luis Garcia has proved himself as a great captain.

Winning Chances: 8/10

3) KERALA BLASTERS FC ( 4W, 3D, 3L )

If there is any story as inspiring as the Kerala Blasters in the Indian Super League tell us about it. Started the season with 3 losses out of 5 opening games with all of them being away trips. Since then they've managed to get themselves where they belong i.e the top three. David James and his side have played some decent football with the only problem being they just couldn't finish their chances off. Pearson, Orji and Jingan have proved to the back bone of the squad. The Kerala state has proved their love for football as they've made the record attendance in the history of Indian football, with 40,000 spectators regularly making it to stadium be it a weekday or a weekend.

Winning Chances: 7/10
