CHENNAI: Chennaiyin FC will be back at their home - the Marina Arena - after a gap of three years. And they couldn't have asked for a spicier game than the souther derby - against Bengaluru FC - to make a comeback to the venue which has seen many memorable performances from the two-time champions.
CFC are on a high after beating ATK Mohun Bagan in their first game away from home. Bengaluru FC, too, come here on the back of a 1-0 win against NorthEast United FC. "It feels good to be back at the Marina Arena after two seasons. Finally, fans are coming back to the stadium to support us, it feels so good," Chennaiyin skipper Anirudh Thapa told the reporters on Thursday.
