ISL 2022-23: East Bengal vs Chennaiyin FC - Prediction, preview, team news, and more

After a heartbreaking 2-0 loss at the hands of arch-rivals ATK Mohun Bagan last weekend, East Bengal will welcome struggling Chennaiyin FC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Friday, October 4.

The Red and Gold Brigade, after a tenacious first half, conceded two goals in the second 45 to lose the Kolkata derby. Their record currently stands at three losses and just a single victory after four matches.

Meanwhile, the Marina Machans are in a fix of their own. After dismantling the Mariners 2-1 in their opening game in Kolkata, Chennaiyin have only managed to come away with a draw and a loss in their following matches. In their previous encounter, FC Goa registered a battling 2-0 victory against the Tamil Nadu-based side.
