Reigning champions Chennaiyin FC host 2014 winners Atlético de Kolkata in a crucial Hero Indian Super League 2016 encounter at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Both teams are presently hovering outside the top 4 places and are on a similar run of form. Chennai are sixth with 13 points from 10 matches, while Kolkata lie one place above with 14 points from 10 games. A win for either team will see them enter the top 4, and the Super Machans will be hoping for another strong performance in front of home support against ATK after beating FC Pune City 2-0 in Chennai in their last outing. Kolkata, on the other hand, are winless in their last three and head into the contest on the back of a defeat and two draws. Sunday’s encounter thus promises to be an entertaining game with both sides looking for a win and entering the top 4 in their pursuit for a second Hero ISL title.
