India and Bangladesh will clash in the opening match of the third round of the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers with both sides hoping to start their campaigns on a high note. (Talking Points | Streaming | More Football News)
India come into the game on the back of a confidence-boosting 3-0 win over Maldives just last week. This was the Blue Tigers first win in 489 days and helps Manolo Marquez settle into his new role as India head coach. Sunil Chhetri's comeback after retirement made headlines ahead of the Maldives clash and the striker would once again be in focus against Bangladesh.
Like Chhetri, the focus will also be on Hamza Choudhary, the former Leicester City player who switched his allegiance to Bangladesh late last year. Choudhary's inclusion has pumped up Bangladeshi fans who are hoping for an upset win over their neighbours.
Check below the likely Starting XIs of both these teams ahead of the India vs Bangladesh football clash.
India: Kaith (gk), Bheke, Jhingan, Bose, Valpuia, Suresh, Apuia, Mahesh, Liston, Chhetri, Choudhary
Bangladesh: Marma (gk), Uddin, Hossan, Barman, Faysal, Hamza, Ridoy, Bhuyan, Al-Amin, Hossain, Emon
