The undefeated teams Chennaiyin FC and Bengaluru FC will face each other in the 2020-21 Indian Super League (ISL) season on Friday at the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim.

Chennaiyin’s coach Csaba Laszlo played a 4-4-2 formation in the first two games, with striker Esmael Goncalves being allowed to run across the front line. In the preliminary round, Bengaluru coach Carles Cuadrat spoke of a better performance in the attacking third in order to do justice to his defensive stability. Dimas Delgado, brought into full match fitness, is the main creative source and could get his first start of the season.
