Chennaiyin FC vs Punjab FC: Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
This should be a balanced match because, despite their win, Chennaiyin FC have been nowhere near being fluent, and were largely chasing the ball against Hyderabad FC. Punjab FC have looked well-organized defensively, and it'll be interesting to see how they push for a goal in this match.
Chennaiyin FC played a 4-4-2 against Hyderabad FC, and if they continue with the same formation at home, Ankit Mukherjee in the RM role but listed as a defender, looks a decent option.
Madih Talal, Luka Majcen, Connor Shields, Rafael Crivellaro, Brandon Vanlalremdika, and Khaiminthang Lhungdim are the players who can be considered must-haves for this match.
Connor Shields, Luka Majcen, and Crivellaro are the best captaincy picks.
