Hereโs the Full Highlights of the game 
Chennaiyin FC take on NorthEast United FC at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim on Thursday. The Marina Machans were held to a 2-2 draw by FC Goa in their last match, while the Highlanders recorded a commanding 3-1 win over Odisha FC in their previous encounter.
The Marina Machans showed an improvement in the attacking third in their last match, scoring twice from open play to take the lead against the Gaurs. However, a late injury-time goal from the Gaurs meant that Csaba Laszloโs team went home with just one point. Their draw also extended Chennaiyinโs winless run to seven matches. With a place in the top four now out of the question, the Marina Machans will be playing for nothing else but pride against an in-form NorthEast United side.
The Highlanders, on the other hand, will be flying high after their fourth win under the tutelage of interim head coach Khalid Jamil. NorthEast United are unbeaten in their last seven matches, which also includes wins over the current table-toppers ATK Mohun Bagan and second-placed Mumbai City FC. Their form can be put down to their improved attack.
Although the Highlanders have only kept one clean sheet since Jamil took over (six games so far), their attack has been impressive, with 11 goals under their belt. They have failed to score in only one match during this period, which was a goalless draw against Hyderabad FC (the second game between the sides this season). Their talisman Federico Gallego has 10 goal contributions this season (4 goals and 6 assists) and the team will continue to look to him for inspiration.
The Marina Machans do not have a great record against the Highlanders, having lost six of 13 matches and winning just thrice. However, with nothing to lose Chennaiyin will definitely look to take advantage of any slip-ups by their opponents and spoil their party.
