Kerala Blasters to face Chennaiyin FC

GOA: Kerala Blasters will be keen to register their maiden win against their southern rivals Chennaiyin FC, having secured a solitary point from their first two matches in Hero Indian Super League Season 7, at the GMC Stadium, here on Sunday.

The two teams have so far faced each other on 14 occasions and two-time champions Chennai have got the better of their opponents on six occasions and faced just three losses while five matches have ended in draws.

After winning their opener against Jamshedpur FC, Csaba Laszlo's Chennaiyin will once again bank on Rafael Crivellaro and Anirudh Thapa to provide the creativity in midfield. The onus will be on forward Esmael Goncalves to spearhead their attack.

In contrast, Kerala have struggled to create chances despite dominating possession against their opponents in the first two matches. Apart from his attack, Vicuna will expect his team's defense to improve. IANS
