Two teams with contrasting fortunes at the start of the 2021/22 Indian Super League campaign – Chennaiyin FC and East Bengal – clash in Goa with vital three points on the line. East Bengal’s defence has led them on the wrong end of two heavy defeats at the hands of Mohun Bagan and Odisha FC. The latter in particular was painful to watch for their fans, with team committing school boy errors in the backline. Manager Manolo Diaz has iterated his side have the quality to compete with the best teams but defending on set pieces needs to improve vastly. Opponents Chennaiyin FC have notched up two wins out of two and are playing some brilliant football at the moment. Bozidar Bandovic seems to be getting the best out of his squad which is always impressive for a new manager. Indian Super League Points Table 2021–22 Updated.

The absence of Rafael Crivallero due to injury has not been felt much in the opening two games and this has largely been possible due to the form of Valdimir Koman. Indian international Anirudh Thapa was the match winner against NorthEast United FC and winger Lallianzuala Chhangte was also a threat on the wings throughout the match.

Goalkeeper Arindam Bhattacharya was injured against ATK Mohun Bagan and no return date has been given for the custodian. Raju Gaikwad has been out of form for East Bengal in defence and it will be interesting to see if he is able to keep his place in the starting eleven. Daniel Chukwu was the only saving grace against Odisha and he could replace Antonio Perosevic.
