:rotating_light: MATCHDAY - :india: India vs :bangladesh: Bangladesh - 7:30PM IST

A winless India desperately need a positive result against neighbors Bangladesh in their joint World Cup and Asian Cup qualifiers match.

With just three points from six matches, India are at the fourth spot in Group E and are not yet guaranteed an automatic berth in the third round of the Asian Cup qualifiers.

Only the best four fourth-place finishers in each of the eight groups directly qualify for the third round of the Asian Cup qualifiers. Among the fourth-place finishers, six teams have more points than India currently. That would mean that Igor Stimac’s men will have to beat Bangladesh to have any chance of an automatic berth in the third qualifying round of the Asian Cup.

A win today will also be India’s first in six years in the World Cup qualifiers. The last win for India had come in November 2015 in a 1-0 result against Guam in a 2018 World Cup qualifying round match in Bangalore.
