The Indian Super League match is back for the 2026-27 season, and with its home-and-away format, FC Goa will host Chennaiyin FC in the second match of the opening day at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Saturday.
Neither team has played an ISL match in the new season yet, making this an opportunity for both sides to start their campaign with three points. FC Goa ended the 2025-26 ISL season with a 1-0 defeat to Mohun Bagan Super Giant, while Chennaiyin FC finished their campaign with a 2-1 loss to Bengaluru FC.
The two sides did, however, meet in the previous ISL campaign. Their last encounter, played in Chennai on March 22, 2026, ended in a 1-1 draw. Irfan Yadwad put Chennaiyin ahead early in the second half before FC Goa captain Sandesh Jhingan equalised in the 87th minute.
