Chennaiyin FC visit the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Delhi for this Hero Indian Super League (ISL) fixture with a perfect record, having won both of their first two games. With the winning momentum, the mood in the visitors’ camp will be buoyant ahead of this fixture.Delhi Dynamos FC are looking for their first win, having drawn at home against FC Pune City in their season opener before fighting back from a goal down to bag a point at league leaders Atlético de Kolkata. Delhi marquee player Alessandro del Piero has shown flashes of his brilliance while turning out for the Dynamos, but will look to have a bigger impact and lead his team to their first victory of the season. His opposing number Elano has scored in each of Chennaiyin’s games, both from set pieces, and has comfortably settled into his role pulling the strings for the Chennaiyin attack.Mads Junker vs Gennaro BraciglianoThe Delhi forward will have a role to play against the formidable Chennai defence, and should benefit from Del Piero attracting most of the attention. Junker is a strong front man capable of pouncing on loose balls and scoring important goals. Up against him will be French goalkeeper Gennaro Bracigliano who has, so far, been immense for the Chennai team. With important saves in both matches, Chennai owe a lot to their keeper for their two wins.Pavel Eliáš vs Denson DevadasEliáš scored one of the best goals of the tournament in Delhi’s previous outing, with a superb right-foot volley into the top corner. His marauding runs into the box will pose the Chennai defence plenty of problems. Denson will be the player in charge of keeping check on the Delhi midfielder. He has so far done a superb job for Chennai in the tournament.Anwar Ali vs Balwant SinghAnwar Ali is an automatic selection for Delhi for his defensive acumen and boundless energy. An astute full-back, he charges up and down the wing to join the attack, but always tracks back to attend to his defensive duties. Balwant Singh has shown his quality in the tournament so far, becoming the first Indian to score in the ISL. His pace and predatory instincts will create problems for the Delhi defence.Players to watchDelhi Dynamos FCAlessandro del Piero: The former Juventus forward has dazzled crowds throughout his career while playing at the highest level in football. While he has shown glimpses of his genius in the ISL, he would want to put in a more influential display to lead his team to victory. The Dynamos' fortunes will depend on their talisman hitting top form.Chennaiyin FCStiven Mendoza: Abhishek Bachchan, the Chennaiyin FC co-winner, described the diminutive forward as a 'bullet'. His pace and trickery is vital for the Chennai side as they push forward. He can be lethal on the counter-attack, and Chennai will look to use him as an outlet to push into the opponent's box.Manager Speak:Harm van Veldhoven (Delhi Dynamos FC): What I have seen in Chennai is that they play mostly on the counter. This tactic may seem to have been working for them as they have picked up the points and are looking very dangerous.Marco Materazzi (Chennaiyin FC): For me all that’s important is 3 points. If the guys score 2 goals for us, it’s perfect.
