Winless Chennaiyin FC and FC Goa lock horns in the eighth match of the 2018-19 Indian Super League (ISL) season at Chennai on Saturday.
After losing to Bengaluru FC in the first match by a solitary goal, John Gregory's two-time winners Chennaiyin would expect his strikers to up the ante against the visitors. Chennaiyin created a few chances but were largely disappointing against Bengaluru. Goa played a thrilling 2-2 draw with NorthEast United in their first match.
Due to heavy rainfall during the past two days, conditions at the Nehru stadium can be expected to be sluggish, making the job a tad tougher for the forward-line.
