Mumbai City had beaten Chennaiyin during their first meeting of the season but the Marina Machans will be eager to make up for that loss this time around.
Riding on Abdenasser El Khayati's sensational hat-trick and Petar Sliskovic's two goals, Chennaiyin beat NorthEast United FC 7-3 quite comprehensively last week.
Hyderabad's goals came from three different players with Halicharan Narzary (65th minute), Chinglensana Singh (74th) and Borja Herrera (85th) getting themselves on the scoresheet. Petar Sliskovic (78th), on the other hand, scored for Chennaiyin.
Goals from Petar Sliskovic, Vincy Barretto and Abdenasser El Khayati helped Chennaiyin FC to a thumping 3-1 win over Jamshedpur FC in the Indian Super League 2022-23. Chennaiyin FC will travel to the Kalinga Stadium to face Odisha FC on Thursday.
While Scottish player Greg Stewart (40', 100' 118') got a hat-trick, former Chennaiyin player Lallianzuala Chhangte (78', 94') scored a brace for Mumbai City.
A lightning-fast strike from Petar Sliskovic (1') earned him the accolades of being the fastest goalscorer in the tournament's history, which then was followed by a penalty goal from Karikari (20').
A product of FSV Frankurt's youth academy, Sliskovic made his professional debut at the age of 19 in the Bundesliga with FSV Mainz and played for the club for five seasons, until 2015.
