Chennaiyin FC

Coyle's side will face Punjab one final time this season in the opener of their Kalinga Super Cup 2024 campaign. Chennaiyin FC will be desperate to get off to a good start by taking revenge on the I-League winners whom they crushed 5-1 in the first-ever ISL meeting back in October last year.

Owen Coyle needs to turn things around soon. The overseas trio of Connor Shields, Jordan Murray, and Rafael Crivellaro will have to lit up in this tournament to give themselves a chance this season. Chennai are struggling but it might be the match that can turn around their season.

Punjab FC

Madih Talal got the winner in the last encounter against Chennaiyin FC giving Punjab FC their maiden ISL victory. However, Staikos Vergetis's team couldn't hold on to their piece of history and lost their final ISL game of 2023 to Odisha FC.

Punjab FC have a scoring crisis but are defensively solid and will try and replicate their solid outing in the last match. Juan Mera will have the creative responsibility, and they are likely to pair Madih Talal and Luka Majcen up front.
