CFC vs MCFC Dream11 Match Preview | Chennaiyin FC vs Mumbai City FC | Indian Super League

Meanwhile Chennaiyin FC was on the receiving end of a 3-0 defeat to FC Goa.

Mumbai will be attempting to bag another vital away win, while former champions, Chennai FC will look to redeem themselves at home.

Match Details

Date- Sunday, October 27 | Kick-Off- 7:30 PM (IST) | Venue- Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Chennai

Chennaiyin FC           

Centre-backs Lucian Goian and Eli Saba looked static against FC Goa but could be given another go against Mumbai City. Head Coach, John Gregory will be eying an attacking shape at home in order to overcome the debacle in the first game. Midfielder, Anirudh Thapa was benched for te first game and we might see him make the team sheet this time around. Jerry Lalrinzuala put in underwhelming performance against Goa but is expected to turn the tide versus Mumbai. Chhangt, Singh and Schembri should be leading the attack for the hosts.

Mumbai City FC

Jorge Costa recently confirmed that centre-half, Mato Grgic will be on the sidelines after sustaining a knock in against Kerala Blasters in Kochi. Ace midfielder, Paulo Machado also picked up a niggle and is doubt of featuring against ChennaIyin FC. Pratik Chaudhari and Sarthak Gouli look like the prominent centre back pairing for now. However it’s Mumbai attack which will definitely create an air of concern for Chennaiyin’s defence. Amini Chermiti, Modou Sougou and Carlos are expected to lead the visitors attack.

Predicted Lineups

Chennaiyin FC: Karanjit, Llarinzuala, Vanspaul, Eli Sabia, Tondonba, Herd, L Chhangte, Anirudh Thapa, CK Vineeth, Schembri, Jeje Lalpekhlua.

Mumbai City FC: Amrinder Singh, Sarthak Golui, Mato Grgic, Sauvik Chakrabarti, Subhasish Bose, Rowllin Borges, Raynier Fernandes, Serge Kevyn, Amine Chermiti, Modou Sougou, Paulo Machado
