Chennaiyin FC- Team News
The Marina Machans, after having a decent start to their season, are now going through some rough patches. Chennaiyin FC has managed to win only 1 match out of their last 5 fixtures. Currently sitting at 7th with 15 points, it's now a real task for the Machans to get back into the mix. Their most recent result was a 1-1 tie with Hyderabad FC, where both teams showed decent performances. Now looking at the defensive records of Chennaiyin FC, they have maintained quite a good run as they let in only 13 goals. So now it's an opportunity for them to do the double over their upcoming opponents.
The Highlanders are currently sitting dead last after East Bengal got their first win, which saw them jump up a place. However, Khalid Jamil's side has failed to put up the performance this season and has lacked the needed defensive abilities. However, attacking wise they are doing great as Deshorn Brown is in the leading goal scorer list. NorthEast United is currently winless in their last 5 fixtures (3L, 2D). So it's now a real challenge for the Highlanders to pull off a victory.

Bengaluru FC, NorthEast United FC and Jamshedpur FC all finished with 38 points after 24 games. For teams that have the same number of points, their head-to-head record is considered first. If their head-to-head results are tied at 1-1 or if they have drawn, then goal difference is taken into account.
According to this rule, Bengaluru FC had a win and a draw against Northeast United FC, which is why they are ranked above. Jamshedpur FC also has the points as Bengaluru and NorthEast, but their head-to-head record is lower, which is why they are placed below the other two.
