Chennaiyin hosts a resurgent FC Pune as both the sides will look to close gap on league leaders Atletico de Kolkata. Although both the teams are coming off a draw but they will look for a win when they clash tomorrow in Chennai.
Key Battles
John Stiven Mendoza vs Bruno Cirillo
Gouramangi Singh vs Dudu Omagbemi
Gouramangi is the India’s best defender and he is delivering the goods for Marco Materazzi’s side. He will be facing a powerful striker in Dudu, who has been in fine form as he is keeping David Trezeguet at bay.
Dudu will be looking to get a few goals in his kitty but he will have to get past Indian international.
Players to watch
Chennaiyin FC
Elano Blumer –
The ‘Free-Kick’ king has been instrumental in the Southerners’ rise to the top 4 and without a doubt he is their best playmaker. He can tear defences apart with his vision and passing as he did so against so many teams. He can never be ignored! Unless if you want to lose a game.
FC Pune City
Kostas Kastouranis –
The former Greek international has been a dynamic midfielder for the Maharashtra side. He has changed the look of this side with his box-to-box approach. Along with this, he has a venomous shot from distance.
