Chennaiyin FC vs Bengaluru FC Prediction: Benglauru has been poor in defence

Chennaiyin FC will welcome Bengaluru FC in Gameweek 10 of the Indian Super League at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Both teams are facing some big issues in this season. Who will win? 

There are both positive and concerning aspects for Chennaiyin in the ongoing season. On a positive note, Chennaiyin stands as the second-highest-scoring team in the league, with the impressive form of Jordan Murray serving as a significant bonus.

However, there are notable reasons for concern. Owen Coyle's team is grappling with the worst defensive record this season, and lapses in concentration have been a recurring issue. Despite enduring a challenging stretch of form, marked by a lack of victories in the last four league matches, Chennaiyin remains only a point behind the top six in the standings.

Owen Coyle faces the daunting task of addressing the team's defensive vulnerabilities and lapses in concentration to improve their position in the league table.

There are reasons for optimism and concern for Bengaluru in the ongoing season. On a positive note, Bengaluru has maintained an undefeated streak in their last five games against Chennaiyin, providing a source of cheer. Additionally, Sunil Chhetri continues to exhibit impressive form, contributing positively to the team.

However, there are notable reasons for concern. Bengaluru's aspirations of rebounding from a challenging start suffered a setback with a crushing loss against Mumbai City in the recent match. The team has experienced two defeats in the last five games, highlighting ongoing performance struggles throughout the season. With just one win from the nine league matches, Bengaluru faces significant challenges, particularly evident in the recent game against Mumbai City, exposing vulnerabilities in their defence.

Bengaluru now faces a formidable task in overcoming this difficult start and regaining momentum in the ongoing season.

Bengaluru has experienced a challenging period of form throughout the campaign. Despite Chennaiyin's recent lack of victories in the last four games, they possess offensive capabilities that could give them an edge. This presents a significant opportunity for Chennaiyin to overcome their recent struggles in securing wins, particularly against Bengaluru. The away game offers a chance for Bengaluru's defensive vulnerabilities to be exposed.
