Out of rivalry for the play-offs, Chennaiyin FC will play for nothing but satisfaction in its penultimate match in opposition to NorthEast United FC within the Indian Super League on the Nehru Stadium right here on Monday.
The Higherlanders, in the meantime, are in with a great probability of constructing the minimize. The guests want three factors from their remaining matches: versus Chennaiyin and a house match in opposition to East Bengal (March 8) to be assured of qualifying for the playoffs with out relying on every other outcome.
Speaking to the media right here on Sunday, Chennaiyin’s head coach Owen Coyle mentioned his goal will likely be to end strongly with two house matches remaining in opposition to NEUFC and Jamshedpur FC (on March 9) and put together for the forthcoming Super Cup.
“It’s important that we finish strong, as we have looked to do over the past few weeks. I think we are well on our way to doing that with the victory at East Bengal, against Punjab, and a good display versus Bengaluru. We want to finish strong, win as many points as possible, and prepare for the Super Cup,” he mentioned.
Coyle mentioned NorthEast will come out with all weapons blazing. “NorthEast have a huge motivation. NorthEast know if they win, it will take them into the playoffs; a draw would also be a good result for them since they have a couple of teams chasing them. We also want to put smiles on the faces of our supporters who have been with us through thick and thin,” he mentioned.
