The Islanders have won their last 11 games against the Marina Machans in all competitions.
Former Indian Super League champions Chennaiyin FC and Mumbai City FC will lock horns against each other on Saturday. Both teams come into the game on the back of dominant wins and hence this will certainly be a game to watch.
The Stakes
Chennaiyin FC
Owen Coyle’s side beat Jamshedpur FC 5-1 in their previous fixture courtesy of Irfan Yadwad’s brilliance. The Marina Machans have picked up three wins from their seven ISL games so far and are currently on 11 points.

The Islanders won 4-2 against Kerala Blasters in a see-saw battle that saw their striker Nikos Karelis get a brace. Just like Chennaiyin FC, Petr Kratky’s side are just outside the playoff spots with nine points from their six ISL games.
