Chennaiyin vs Mohammedan Predictions & Tips - Goals in Short Supply in ISL Encounter

Chennaiyin and Mohammedan are set to clash in a low-scoring encounter this Tuesday in the ISL. With both teams struggling offensively, having scored less than a goal per game recently, expectations for a high-scoring affair are minimal. Chennaiyin recently secured a rare win against SC Delhi, while Mohammedan is buoyed by their first point of the season from a draw with Odisha. Their historical matchups include a win and a draw for Mohammedan last season. A close, defensively oriented game is anticipated.

Chennaiyin vs Mohammedan Predictions

Goals look likely to be in short supply in Tuesday’s ISL encounter. I have my stake on under 2.5 goals with a low-score draw also tipped in Chennai. 

Both Teams Struggle in Front of Goal


  • Chennaiyin scored an average of 0.75 goals per game in their last 8 matches
  • Chennaiyin scored exactly 1 goal in their last 6 matches
  • Mohammedan scored an average of 0.5 goals per game in their last 8 matches
  • Mohammedan scored exactly 1 goal in 4 of their last 6 matches

Chennaiyin and Mohammedan Set For Third Encounter

Chennaiyin and Mohammedan will meet for the third time on Tuesday. Mohammedan picked up one win and one draw from last season’s two meetings.

Chennaiyin Claim Rare Win

Chennaiyin face a fifth consecutive ISL home fixture after edging past SC Delhi in their most recent contest at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. An early goal from Farukh Choudhary secured a hard-fought 1-0 success for Clifford Miranda's side.

Both teams had their chances in an evenly balanced affair in Chennai. xG tallies of 0.64 and 0.73 reflected the tight nature of last week’s matchup.

The Marina Machans had won just one of their first seven ISL fixtures before last Friday’s much-needed home victory. Chennaiyin now sit 10th in the division with eight points on the board.

A lack of attacking firepower remains a concern for Miranda’s men. Chennaiyin scored just six goals in eight league games this season, while they failed to score more than one goal in any of 12 previous matches. 

Mohammedan Break Losing Run

Mohammedan make the trip to Chennai after finally claiming their first ISL point of the season against Odisha last weekend. Thokchom Adison Singh’s first career goal rescued a 1-1 draw for Mehrajuddin Wadoo's side.

The Black Panthers were a little unfortunate not to pick up all three points at Kalinga Stadium. The ISL strugglers looked the better side in the second half, registering a final xG total of 1.92 from ten efforts on the Odisha goal. 

Wadoo's men lost each of their first seven games of the ISL season before Friday’s much-needed point picked up against Odisha. The Black Panthers remain bottom of the division, five points behind 13th-placed Odisha.

Recent results against Chennaiyin will give the Black Panthers some confidence this weekend. Mohammedan edged to a 1-0 win in their last visit to Chennai in 2024 while they picked up a 2-2 draw in their most recent encounter. 

Predicted Lineups and Team News

Chennaiyin (4-1-4-1) Mohammad Nawaz; Laldinpuia PC, Pritam Kotal, Eduardo Kau, Mandar Rao Desai; Mohamed Ali Bemammer; Imran Khan, Maheson Tongbram Singh, Alberto Noguera, Farukh Choudhary; Irfan Yadwad.

Head coach Miranda has just one confirmed absentee this week. Brazilian defender Elsinho is sidelined with a knee injury.

Mohammedan (4-4-2) Padam Chettri; Hira Mondal, Joseph Lalmuanawma, Pritam D Meitei, Shahbaz H Parray; Makan Winkle Chote, Anirudh K Singh, Mohammedan Roy, Lalrinzuala Rotluanga; Lalnuntluanga Lalnuntluanga, T A Singh

Mohammedan boss Wadoo could be forced into a couple of changes to his first XI on Tuesday. Makan Winkle Chote and Joseph Lalmuanawma could both come into the XI after Lalremsanga Fanai and Jahid Mazumder were both forced off in the draw at Odisha.

Verdict

Goals could be in short supply when Chennaiyin host Mohammedan in Tuesday’s ISL encounter. With both sides lacking firepower, under 2.5 goals looks the standout selection.
