Bhubaneswar: Chennai City will be eyeing to regain their pole position in the I-League table when they take on the young Indian Arrows in their 15th round I-league encounter here Friday.
Chennai City are currently placed second with 30 points from 14 matches behind Real Kashmir, who are on top with 32 points from 16 games. Full points will once again take Chennai on top, having played a game less than Real Kashmir. In the first leg, Chennai had pummelled the Arrows 4-1, courtesy Spanish sniper Pedro Manzi’s first hat-trick of the season.
He has gone on to register another during the course of the campaign while scoring 13 goals thus far and remains the Floyd Pinto coached Arrows’ primary threat on Friday.
The Arrows have creditably bounced back since that first game and today find themselves in a respectable seventh position on the table with 16 points from as many games.
They have also notched up a best-ever record of five wins in the process, to go with 10 losses and a draw. Given their recent run of form – two wins in the last five games including one over champions Minerva Punjab in their previous encounter and three closely fought defeats to tougher sides, coach Pinto was understandably cautious, yet optimistic at the pre-game presser. “The focus is on recovery and on minor tweaks to our system.” Pinto said.
