The two stand-out teams from the inaugural Indian Super League season go head to head in a top of the table clash.
Atletico de Kolkata who lead the table, travel to the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai as they prepare to take on Elano Blumer's Chennai side who are undefeated at home. Atletico de Kolkata welcome their captain and Spanish maestro Luis Garcia who was out for the last couple weeks due an injury.
With the return of Luis Garcia the Kolkata side are expected line up as a more attacking 4-3-3. But the lose of their Star centre forward Fikru who has been banned for two games will be missed. Fikru who was very influential in the sides opening two games will be back for their next game.
Chennai on the other hand are ready to defend their unbeaten streak at their home ground. A Chennai win today will lead them to top of the table as they have played a game less than their opponents Atletico de Kolkata. ISL's leading top scorer Elano Blumer would be the man to watch out for once again as he waves his samba magic all over India with his unstoppable free kicks.
With both sides having at least six days of rest, the teams are expected to pay attacking and open brand of football. Player Coach Marco Materazzi is expected to play himself again along side Silvestre and Singh with Mendy playing as a wing back.
