Chennaiyin FC vs SC East Bengal Dream11 Preview
And while the club’s 2-0 triumph against Odisha was far from convincing, Chennaiyin will be least bothered about that. The club will take solace in the fact that the win was their first of 2021, one which could finally spark their aspirations of making it into the top 4.
However, the club still has a slew of issues to iron before it can truly propel itself from its current 6th place.
Robbie Fowler’s men drew their most recent fixture to Kerala Blasters by 1-1. Chennaiyin FC, on the other hand, have also been fairly inconsistent in the ongoing campaign. The two time champions have won two, drawn two and lost two from the six fixtures so far. They did manage to secure a 2-1 win to FC Goa, recently, which should provide added confidence here

Dream11 Picks
Goal-Keeper
Chennaiyin’s Vishal Kaith finds his place in our team after his tenacious display against Odisha.
Defenders
Partnering him up for this outing is the duo of EnesSipovic and Eli Sabia. The two well endowed players have raked up two cleansheets for the club in the side’s last four encounters, performances which alluded to their sprawling skill set.
Scott Neville’s ability to win the aerial duels meanwhile makes him our pick from the other side.
Midfielders
His side’s top scorer with the three goals and two assists, Matti Steinmann makes for the first pick in this slot. Jacques Maghoma has aided him well, supplying him with a constant source of passes in goal scoring positions.
Chennaiyin on the other hand see us roll in an entire barrage of picks. Our trio from the side begins with Memo Moura, a player whose modus operandi has seen him establish his presence in both attack and defence.
Anirudh and Lallianzuala have done well in attack as well with the two winning challenges to beat defenders with ease.
Strikers
Finally back on the pitch for his side, striker EsmaelGoncalves ended up being his side’s match winner with the two strikes.
The one assist for Bright Enobakhare sees him be inducted in our framework from the opposition.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Moura’s ability to canter all across the park sees him be our captain while Matti is the vice-captain.
