Chennaiyin FC vs NorthEast United FC Prediction: Chennaiyin have found their form in last stage of the ISL

Chennaiyin FC will welcome NorthEast United FC in the last game week of the ISL at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Chennai. Both teams will play their final game of this season as both of them have not qualified for the playoffs. Who will win? 

Chennaiyin has had lots of ups and downs in the season so far. They picked up the form in the later stages of the tournament but they left it too late. They are coming off into the games with two wins in two against East Bengal and Goa. The Marina Machas were able to get these victories despite a few of the key players missing. The game against Goa showed their solidarity at the back and their resolute going forward. Chennaiyin is placed in the eighth spot and they play their last game of the season after failing to qualify for the playoffs. The team will feel hard done by a few decisions throughout the season which is coming to haunt them. The team would want to end the season with a hat trick of wins and take some confidence at the end. Chennaiyin will want to finish seventh in the table but for that, they need to win the game by 4 goals.

Northeast United would want to forget this season as fast as they could. They have stayed at the bottom of the league pretty much the whole season. The team has only one win over the course of the campaign which concerned many supporters. They have picked up only five points and have conceded 51 goals which is the worst ISL record. Vincenzo Annese will be looking to build the squad for the next season. A lot of improvement is needed on the side. They would want to make things a little better by winning the last game of the tournament.

The game looks very uneven with both teams not having the season they hoped for. Chennai is in a better position and has done well in the last few games. We expect plenty of goals in this game despite it being the last game for both teams. The head-to-head stats show a pretty even matchup but with the current form, these two sides are in we expect Chennaiyin to win. Expect more than 2.5 goals in this game.
