ISL 2023-24: Chennaiyin FC vs Bengaluru FC – Build-up

In a highly anticipated clash in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 season, Bengaluru FC and Chennaiyin FC are set to face off at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai on December 13th. The encounter carries added intrigue as Bengaluru FC finds itself in a state of transition, having recently parted ways with their head coach. Thus, the Blues from here on will be eager to turn the tide and regain their winning streak after failing to secure a win in their last six games.

On the other hand, Chennaiyin FC, who will host the match at their formidable Marina Arena, will be looking for their third victory of the season. As both teams strive for crucial points, the upcoming match promises to be a captivating battle between a team in transition and one seeking to assert its dominance.

Bengaluru FC’s 2023-24 ISL campaign has not started well. The Blues have only won one of their nine games this season, losing four and having draw in three. As a result, Bengaluru FC is presently ninth in the league standings, having only earned seven points from nine games. Also, due to a surprising change of events, they have recently parted ways with their head coach, Simon Grayson, and Renedy Singh is in control of the squad until the team finds a new coach to lead the rest of the season.

Bengaluru FC suffered their heaviest loss of the season in their last home match against the Islanders, falling 4-0 against Mumbai City. Prior to that, the Blues were forced to share the spoils in both of their games against Punjab and NorthEast, where despite being ahead on the scoreboard, the match did not end in their favor.

So, with Simon Grayson gone, the team will strive to pick up three points and get back on track as Bengaluru FC looks to turn things around before the season is halfway over. As the league gets closer to the playoffs, it’ll be interesting to see how Renedy Singh handles things as their new interim coach.

Under the guidance of Irish coach Owen Coyle, Chennaiyin FC has found it difficult to achieve their best outcomes in the ongoing Indian Super League 2023–24 season. In their nine games this season, they have only won two, lost four, and drawn three.

Therefore, the Marina Machans will aim to advance in the league standings by defeating the struggling Blues and obtaining three points at home.

The Marina Machans in their last three encounters had to share points against Jamshedpur FC, Ivan Vukomanovic’s Kerala Blasters and the Red and Gold Brigade. Prior to that they have faced a tough defeat against the Gaurs earlier in the season, where they went down 3-0, and failed to score any goals. This season, they defeated Punjab FC, scoring five goals, and also won against their outing with Hyderabad FC.
