Joining miranda

Indian Super League: Chennaiyin FC will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host East Bengal in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26, looking to build back momentum after their recent setback.

With East Bengal currently fifth in the standings, having won three of their six matches so far, the clash promises to be a stern test. The Marina Machans, however, will look to draw from their previous performances–CFC registered a commanding 3-0 victory in the league when the teams last met–and make home advantage count as they seek to climb up the table.

“For me, East Bengal are the most balanced team in the division. It’s not easy to play against them because they are very strong in the middle and extremely quick on the wings. They also have one of the league’s best strikers, if I’m not mistaken. It’s a team that is very, very well-balanced, capable of playing possession football as well as going direct. I think they are one of the most difficult teams in the league,” Chennaiyin head coach Clifford Rayes Miranda told the media in his pre-match press conference on Friday.
