India will face Uzbekistan in an AFC Asian Cup Group match on Thursday, January 18, at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan.
India, headed by Sunil Chhetri, is coming off a 2-0 setback to Australia.
After an entertaining 45 minutes of play, Jackson Irvine and Jordan Bos scored after the interval to seal the victory for Australia.
Chhetri squandered a wonderful first-half opportunity when he headed wide.
India had several positives in the game, but they couldn’t turn them into scoring opportunities.
The Blue Tigers would hope to avoid another setback before facing Syria in a do-or-die match.
Uzbekistan will enter this game full of confidence, having not lost in their previous five matches.
However, they were unable to get off to a winning start against Syria, drawing 0-0.
They will be looking for their first win of the AFC Asian Cup 2023 on Tuesday.
