Comprising the lowest part of the league standings, both clubs have had a challenging season so far.

Given both sides will be trying to exploit one another’s defensive shortcomings, fans can anticipate a fierce struggle.

Chennaiyin Results
In their past five games, Chennaiyin has had a conflicting performance. Though they had a great victory over East Bengal, other games have shown their defensive flaws. The last five matches of theirs are summarized below:
| Date | Competition | Matchup | Result | W/L |
| 08.02.25 | ISL | East Bengal vs Chennaiyin | 0-3 | W |
| 30.01.25 | ISL | Chennaiyin vs Kerala Blasters | 1-3 | L |
| 25.01.25 | ISL | Goa vs Chennaiyin | 2-0 | L |
| 21.01.25 | ISL | Chennaiyin vs Mohun Bagan | 0-0 | D |
| 15.01.25 | ISL | Mohammedan vs Chennaiyin | 2-2 | D |
With only one win in their last five games, Chennaiyin’s play has been erratic. Their defense has been a big issue; they have let up at least two goals in three of these games. Their assault, especially in their overwhelming 3-0 victory against East Bengal, has showed potential, however.
Punjab FC Results
With just one victory in their last five games, Punjab FC has also suffered in recent contests. Their efforts have combined one hard-earned triumph with draws and defeats. Here is their past five game attendance:
| Date | Competition | Matchup | Result | W/L |
| 10.02.25 | ISL | Odisha FC vs Punjab FC | 1-1 | D |
| 05.02.25 | ISL | Mohun Bagan vs Punjab FC | 3-0 | L |
| 01.02.25 | ISL | Punjab FC vs Bengaluru FC | 3-2 | W |
| 28.01.25 | ISL | Punjab FC vs Jamshedpur | 1-2 | L |
| 16.01.25 | ISL | Punjab FC vs Mumbai City | 1-1 | D |
In three of their last five games, Punjab FC’s defense has proved flimsy, allowing many goals. Still, they have demonstrated tenacity in attack—as shown by their 3-2 victory against Bengaluru FC. Their failure to maintain a clean sheet might be a big issue before this game.
