Chennaiyin vs Odisha - Must Win or Forget the Top Six for the Marina Machans!

ISL leaders Odisha FC will take on Chennaiyin FC at the Marina Arena tonight. Both clubs will be looking for three important points however the odds are stacked heavily against the home side going into the game.

With just six games to go in the season, Chennaiyin have to win at least five to have a chance to qualify for the playoffs. Though the Marina have four home games out of the six, their recent form has been horrendous as their attackers look clueless in front of the goal.

Odisha too are in need of three points as they are entangled in a four-horse race for the ISL Shield alongside Mumbai City, Mohun Bagan, and FC Goa. Sergio Lobera has had a wonderful record against Chennaiyin, just losing twice to the Marina Machans in a total of 12 games.

Odisha beat Chennaiyin 2-0 in the reverse fixture at the Kalinga Stadium back in September. Can Owen Coyle and his boys fight for the Crest and get three crucial points?
