Chennaiyin FC and Hyderabad FC are languishing at the bottom of the Indian Super League table at 11th and 12th. However, qualifying for the playoffs is still in Chennaiyin’s hands as it gets ready to host HFC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Saturday.
A victory against Thangboi Singto’s side, which is coming off a 2-2 draw against NorthEast United FC, will take Owen Coyle’s men to 21 points from 18 outings and within touching distance of the sixth spot.
Coyle said he is not taking the Hyderabad challenge lightly even though his side is fresh after a 2-1 win against high-flying Odisha FC.
