Placed
sixth
in
the
points
table,
Chennaiyin
will
dislodge
Hyderabad
from
fourth
position
as
they
are
on
14
points
to
Hyderabad’s
16.
The
Marina
Machans
lost
to
FC
Goa
in
their
last
encounter
but
their
defence
has
been
solid
and
against
a
Bartholomew
Ogbeche-less
Hyderabad,
they
would
fancy
their
chances
of
holding
fort
even
more.

The
current
front-runner
in
the
golden
boot
race
finds
himself
suspended
for
Hyderabad’s
upcoming
match
after
picking
up
his
4th
yellow
card
in
the
last
game.
Ogbeche
is
a
vital
cog
in
has
Hyderabad’s
wheel
and
head
coach
Manolo
Marquez
will
have
his
task
cut
out
without
the
star
Nigerian
marksman.
“Our
loss
against
Chennaiyin
at
the
start
of
the
season
was
an
accident.
They
took
advantage
of
our
mistake.
It
is
not
about
learning
from
that
game.
It
is
about
how
to
score
the
chances
you
get.
In
football,
you
never
know,
the
same
could
happen
or
you
play
a
bad
game
and
win
1-0,”
Marquez
said,
with
a
hint
of
regret
on
missing
the
three
points
against
Chennaiyin
last
time.
The
Spaniard
also
conceded
that
his
team
won’t
be
affected
by
Ogbeche’s
absence.
“Zero
(effect),”
boasted
Marquez.
For
Chennaiyin,
their
attacking
woes
continue
unabated,
having
found
the
back
of
the
net
only
nine
times
this
season
from
10
games,
the
fewest
by
any
team
thus
far.
What
would
make
coach
Bozidar
Bandovic
more
worried
is
Hyderabad’s
watertight
backline.
Hyderabad
have
conceded
the
joint
fewest
goals
this
season.
The
biggest
cause
of
concern
would
be
Vladimir
Koman’s
absence
through
injury.
Bandovic
is
also
eagerly
awaiting
a
report
from
the
team
doctor
to
ascertain
Nerijus
Valskis’ availability
on
Thursday,
for
an
injury
he
sustained
over
the
weekend
“We
have
been
playing
according
to
our
strengths
and
we
have
proven
results.
We
are
not
Manchester
City
and
we
are
trying
to
play
good.
Last
match
was
not
up
to
standards.
We
will
try
our
best,”
said
Bandovic.
In
their
first
meeting,
Chennaiyin
beat
Hyderabad
1-0
but
since
then
Marquez’s
charges
have
looked
the
better
side
stitching
together
an
eight-game
unbeaten
run
before
losing
to
in-form
Kerala
Blasters.
