Indian Super League: Chennaiyin FC aims to bounce back from their previous defeat and finish the season on a high when they face NorthEast United away in their second-to-last Indian Super League 2026 match on Sunday.

Only one place separates the two teams in the standings, with Chennaiyin and NorthEast United both aiming for a late push up the table as the season nears its end. The Marina Machans have a slight advantage in their overall head-to-head record, having won 11 of 24 matches across all competitions, including three of the last five.

Chennaiyin head coach Clifford Rayes Miranda discussed the opponents and the threats they pose during his pre-match press conference on Saturday, as he said, “Both teams will want to win just like in any other game. It’s the same every time we step onto the pitch; both sides are there to compete for the three points. For us, that doesn’t change.”
