The hosts have struggled with defensive consistency this season, having secured only five points thus far. Head coach Clifford Miranda has emphasised the need for tactical discipline to counter a young and aggressive SC Delhi side. All eyes will be on forward Irfan Yadwad, who scored in the previous outing and remains a central figure in the Chennaiyin attack.

Sporting Club Delhi, coached by Tomasz Tchórz, have quickly adapted to the top flight. Their clinical performance in the last round, spearheaded by Joseph Sunny, has established them as a formidable opponent capable of disrupting established teams. Captain Lamgoulen Hangshing will lead a side that prioritises attacking intent and high-intensity pressing.
