The Indian Super League 2025-26 heats up as Chennaiyin FC confronts Odisha FC at Kalinga Stadium this Sunday, hungry for that elusive first win. A dismal opening phase has the team fired up for redemption on enemy ground.
Coach Clifford Miranda, no stranger to Odisha’s prowess after clinching their title, offered measured insights. ‘Grateful for my stint there—wonderful recollections. Admiration for the club and staff. Their Inter Kashi outing was stellar. Sunday promises intensity; without matching their zeal and tenacity, we’re vulnerable,’ he analyzed.
Drawing inspiration from Farukh Choudhary’s double that felled Odisha previously, Chennaiyin enters their third straight away game with purpose.
Optimism prevails despite hurdles. ‘Victories breed positivity, enhancing self-assurance and path validation. Post-loss, our conviction holds. This process thrives on wins that fuel upcoming battles,’ Miranda emphasized.
Observers predict a thriller, with Chennaiyin’s desperation clashing against Odisha’s home advantage. A positive result could catalyze a remarkable turnaround for the Marina faithful.
