BAMBOLIM, Feb 9: With their play-off hopes fast receding, a desperate Chennaiyin FC will seek a turnaround when they take on Jamshedpur FC in an Indian Super League match here on Wednesday.
Things just aren’t going Chennaiyin’s way. Their last game, a goalless draw against Bengaluru, was the ninth time they had failed to score this season – the most by any team.
Now, they find themselves in desperate need of results, if they aspire to reach the play-offs for the second straight time.
At this stage, with plenty of other teams also fighting for the play-off spots, nothing less than a win in each game will suffice for the Marina Machans.
And they’ll be hoping to do just that when they face Jamshedpur FC at the GMC Stadium here. Chennaiyin now find themselves six points off the top four.
The task appears difficult, but it’s still mathematically possible. And Chennaiyin coach Csaba Laszlo has urged his team to keep fighting till the end.
Chennaiyin’s struggle in front of the goal have continued to cost them points despite the two-time winners creating plenty of chances. They have now not scored from open play for five games straight.
Meanwhile, Jamshedpur are placed a spot above their opponents with just a point separating them. (PTI)
