KBFC 3 - CFC 6 | Kerala Blasters FC vs Chennaiyin FC - Live Football Score, Match 72 - Summary

Kerala Blasters will host Chennaiyin FC in their 50th Indian Super League (ISL) match knowing anything less than a win from here will all but end their hopes of making it to the IS; 2019-20 playoffs. Kerala, who beat ATK in their latter's home turf, has lost their previous two games by 2-3 margins but were on the road. In their last home match, Kerala Blasters thrashed bottom-placed Hyderabad FC 5-1 making it four unbeaten games at home. Against Chennaiyin FC, who have beaten thrice in their last six meetings, Kerala will hope to continue that unbeaten run although only one of those four games have resulted in a win.

Chennaiyin, on the other, have resurrected their ISL 6 campaign under new coach Owen Coyle and are on a winning run of three games in which they have netted nine times. The two-time ISL winners have lost just once in their eight ISL games but it is their away run that will worry Coyle. In four games on the road so far in ISL 6, Chennaiyin have lost twice and only beat Hyderabad FC. They are ranked sixth with 18 points and are still five points away from the final four but with two games in hand.
