Dempo Sports Club vs Chennaiyin FC Match Prediction & Analysis

The GMC Stadium in Bambolim will host a crucial Group A encounter in the 2025–26 AIFF Super Cup on October 31, 2025, with kick-off at 4:30 PM IST. I-League side Dempo SC, the tournament's surprise package, will face an already eliminated Chennaiyin FC in the final group-stage game.

Dempo, with two hard-fought draws against Kolkata giants East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, still have a slim mathematical chance of reaching the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Chennaiyin FC, fielding an all-Indian squad, are yet to earn a point and will play only for pride. This will be the first official meeting between the two clubs. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Dempo Sports Club Preview

Dempo SC have shown strong form in the 2025–26 Super Cup, pulling off two impressive draws against fancied ISL sides. They built their strategy on solid defence and discipline, frustrating both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan. While they haven’t scored many goals (two in two matches), their defensive record stands out as a major strength. They conceded only two goals to East Bengal.

Accurate stats for goals, corners, or shots per game aren’t available right now, but their resilient performances tell the story. Laximanrao Rane and Mohamed Ali are the team’s top scorers, with one goal each. Coach Samir Naik’s squad looks fit, with no major injury concerns before this match. Their ability to punch above their weight has defined their campaign so far. 

Dempo SC (4-5-1): Ashish Sibi (GK), Mohamed Ali, Saiesh Bagkar, Pruthvesh Pednekar, Daniel Muthu, Seigoumang Doungel, Vieri Colaco, Vinay Harji, Amay Morajkar, Ariston Costa, Shubham Rawat. 

Chennaiyin FC Preview

Chennaiyin FC have endured a tough Super Cup campaign, losing both matches and crashing out of the competition. The Marina Machans have struggled especially in attack, failing to score in their two games against Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. They conceded six goals in the same period, including a 4-0 defeat to East Bengal.

While exact stats for corners or shots aren’t available, the lack of goals shows their attacking problems. Their all-Indian squad, featuring players like Farukh Choudhary and Irfan Yadwad up front, showed early promise but couldn’t sustain it due to poor conditioning. Head coach Clifford Miranda faces a selection problem, with Jitendra Singh and Irfan Yadwad injured against East Bengal and likely to miss the final group game. 

Chennaiyin FC (5-3-2): Mohammad Nawaz (GK), Laldinliana Renthlei, PC Laldinpuia, Pritam Kotal, Vignesh Dakshinamurthy, Mandar Rao Desai, Maheson Singh, Jisteshwor Singh, Lalrinliana Hnamte, Farukh Choudhary, Gurkirat Singh.

Winning Prediction

Dempo SC are the favourites to win this contest. Their solid defensive setup and resilient performances against two top ISL teams give them a clear advantage over a struggling Chennaiyin FC side. Chennaiyin’s weak attack, injuries, and lack of confidence make them the underdogs. With Dempo playing at home and aiming for a strong finish, they look more motivated and better prepared to secure a comfortable victory.
