Following a Jason Cummings redemption and injury time masterclass, the Mariners will travel to the Marina Arena for their first ISL away day. A great test for Juan Ferrando and his boys awaits as they are still unbeaten since the Durand Cup group stage's tragic loss.

Now even the most non-optimistic Mariner will think this match is a cakewalk for Juan Ferrando as Chennaiyin FC are at rock bottom after their two outings in this season's ISL. But Chennaiyin will play their first home game and Owen Coyle and his boys are quite desperate to grab those three points. So, underestimating this Chennaiyin side will be catastrophic like other times.

Owen Coyle will park the bus against this star-studded forward line and will make the game slow like previous opponents Maziya. If Juan Ferrando wants a high-scoring game, his boys need to break the deadlock before 30 minutes and no experiments within the match with a low lead margin.
The Mariners need to be focused and calm to end this match before the International break with a good heart. The team is united and will show what they are capable of with the new unreleased away kit.
