PANJIM: Chennaiyin FC and Kerala Blasters will both look to build on the winning momentum when they lock horns in the 2021-22 Hero Indian Super League at the Tilak Maidan Stadium on Wednesday.
Chennaiyin recorded a 2-1 victory over Odisha FC in their last outing and are currently sitting at fourth place in the points table with 11 points from six matches.
Kerala Blasters leapfrogged to fifth in the table with a marauding 3-0 win over league leaders Mumbai City FC, in one of their finest performances in recent times.
The men in yellow have not lost a game since their opening day 4-2 defeat to ATK Mohun Bagan.
Their five-match unbeaten streak is currently the joint highest unbeaten streak by a Hero ISL club, along with Hyderabad FC.
The foreign attackers signed by both Kerala and Chennaiyin were amongst the goals in the teams’ respective wins in their previous games.
Mirlan Murzaev scored Chennaiyin’s second goal against Odisha in what was an unstoppable strike from outside the box. This was his first goal for his new club.
