The Kerala Blasters emerged victorious in its last three matches and is second on the ISL table behind FC Goa but with the same number of points. On the other hand, Chennaiyin FC, its rival in Wednesday’s clash at the Nehru Stadium here, is on the seventh rung and struggling.
But Ivan Vukomanovic feels that the match would be a tough one.
“Our games against Chennaiyin FC were always tough, kind of spicy Southern derby like we like to call it,” said the Blaster head coach on Tuesday.
