It’s going to be an intense battle between the reigning victor and a two-time champion.
However, Mohun Bagan Super Giant and Chennaiyin FC have had contrasting starts to the 10th season of the Indian Super League.
Bagan has two victories from two matches and sits on top of the table while home team Chennaiyin is yet to open its account after two losses to Odisha FC and NorthEast United FC.
Head coach Owen Coyle and the boys will be eager to win their first home game with the support of their spirited fans when they take on Mohun Bagan here on Saturday.
Away coach Juan Ferrando, too, knows that the home team will be a wounded tiger ready to strike.
“We expect Chennaiyin to be very aggressive. We need to be in control. Chennaiyin is a pretty ambitious club. Having lost the first two matches, they will come back very hard,” said Ferrando.
