Chennaiyin’s
robust
defence
were
put
to
the
sword
by
high-flying
Kerala
Blasters
who
ran
out
3-0
winners,
leaving
Božidar
Bandović’s
wards
sixth
in
the
points
table
with
11
points
from
seven
matches.
In
Bengaluru,
Chennaiyin
will
know
they
have
an
opponent
who
are
not
very
high
on
confidence
after
remaining
winless
in
their
last
seven
games.
Languishing
at
10th
place,
the
Blues
got
off
to
a
winning
start
this
season
but
since
then
haven’t
managed
to
muster
a
single
victory,
pocketing
just
six
points
from
eight
outings.
They
played
out
a
dour
0-0
draw
in
their
last
game
and
once
again
lacked
creativity
in
the
final
third.
The
Marco
Pezzaouli-coached
team
kept
a
clean
sheet
in
the
last
game
but
in
general
lacked
spark,
which
has
been
their
bane
for
quite
some
time
now.
Skipper
and
Indian
football
legend
Sunil
Chhetri
hasn’t
been
at
his
best,
forcing
the
coach
to
relegate
him
on
the
bench.
“Sunil
is
very
professional,
he
works
very
hard
and
I
see
the
luck
is
coming
back
in
training,
and
it’s
only
a
matter
of
time
before
it
comes
back
in
the
games
as
well,”
Pezzaouli
said
on
the
eve
of
the
game.
“It’s
not
difficult
for
me
to
tell
Sunil
that
he
isn’t
starting.
He’s
a
professional
who
assesses
himself,
and
he
knows
very
well
how
to
deal
with
these
situations.
He
is
an
option
for
tomorrow
because
he
has
been
training
well.”
“We
had
a
lot
of
time
to
train
on
some
more
tactics
and
we’ve
prepared
for
tomorrow’s
game
against
Chennaiyin
FC,”
he
added
on
the
job
at
hand.
Chennaiyin
coach
Bandović
stressed
the
team
camaraderie
in
his
pre-match
press
conference,
saying
it’s
very
important
to
stay
together
especially
inside
a
bubble.
“The
most
important
thing
for
me
is
that
our
players
are
okay.
I
am
very
happy
with
them.
We
are
a
team
inside
and
outside
the
field
and
that
is
very
important,”
Bandovic
said.
“We
are
trying
to
improve
every
game.
The
players
are
responding
well
and
I
am
very
happy
with
them.
Our
atmosphere
is
fantastic,”
he
added.
Chennaiyin
have
failed
to
score
against
Bengaluru
FC
in
their
last
four
games
and
they
would
surely
want
to
reverse
the
trend
on
Thursday.
In
the
nine
games
between
the
two
sides,
Chennaiyin
have
won
three
games
including
the
Hero
ISL
final
in
2017-18.
Bengaluru
FC
have
four
wins
while
two
games
ended
in
draws.
