Chennaiyin Form

Chennaiyin failed to score for the fourth time in five matches as they played out a 0-0 draw with Bengaluru last Friday.

It was a sixth draw in the last 10 matches for Csaba Lazlo's side. They have won once in that period though and are on a five-game winless run.

Last year's beaten finalists have failed to score in nine of their 16 games and have been involved in six 0-0 draws.

In the last five games, they have drawn with East Bengal (0-0) and leaders Mumbai City (1-1).

Chennaiyin have also lost to ATK Mohun Bagan 1-0 and Hyderabad 2-0.

Chennaiyin Team News

Left-back Jerry Lalrinzuala is out as he serves a one-game ban.

Anirudh Thapa returned to the Chennaiyin midfield against Bengaluru, but lasted only 45 mintes on his comeback from injury.

Manual Lanzarote will continue in the playmaker role having replaced injured Brazilian star Rafael Crivellaro in the Chennaiyin squad.

Jamshedpur Form

Jamshedpur sparked hopes of a run to the finals with a 1-0 victory over Odisha last week.

But having beaten the bottom side, Owen Coyle's side then suffered a 2-1 defeat to second from bottom East Bengal on Sunday.

The Men of Steel fell behind to Matti Steinmann's sixth minute goal. Anthony Pikington doubled the lead before Peter Hartley got a consolation.

The defeat means Jamshedpur have now won one of their last seven matches.

Jamshedpur lost three in row against Kerala Blasters, Goa and Bengaluru. They then drew 0-0 with Hyderabad and Kerala Blasters.

Jamshedpur Team News

Boris Singh made his debut from the bench against East Bengal. The former ATK Mohun Bagan defender could be handed a start.

Spanish forward David Grande remains sidelined with injury, but otherwise Jamshedpur are at full strength.

Head to Head

Chennaiyin lead the head-to-head 3-1 with three draws in the seven meetings between the sides in the Indian Super League.

Chennaiyin made it back to back wins when recording a 2-1 victory earlier this season. Anrirudh Thapa and Isma put the Marina Machans 2-0 before Nerijus Valskis pulled one back for Jamshedpur.

Predictions

Chennaiyin can't buy a goal but have at least been proving hard to beat. The Marina Machans have lost three of last 10 matches, drawing six times.

Jamshedpur have just one win in their last seven matches and have drawn blanks in three of the last six. Another 0-0 could be on the cards.
