INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:

Bengaluru FC are favorites in this match. They are one of the most successful football teams in India in recent years. the Blues have won two I-League titles and two federation cups in four years of their existence. They are also unbeaten in the last 10 matches.

But Chennai have already beaten them during the league stage and must be confident about repeating that feat. Also, their centre-back partnership of Sereno and Mailson is one of the best in ISL this season. But in the last match, MS Dhoni owned team showed that they can match their defensive skills with their attack after hammering Goa 3-0 in the 2nd leg semifinal.

It should be a fantastic battle and while considering it’s a final, both the teams may opt for a cautious approach at the beginning of the match.

We are going for a Bengaluru win.
