It is a crucial game for the Guars, and there will be a lot of pressure on them, with expectations of a result in favor of the Indian side, who need to win today in order to keep their qualification hopes alive.

After the last match, Juan thought that his side looked nervous against one of the best sides in the competition, and rightly so.

The Guars need to show more courage when they have the ball and try to string a few passes together when being pressed and not give away possession cheaply.
