India and Uzbekistan are set to square off at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium in Al-Rayyan on Thursday (January 18) in the teams’ second group stage game of the ongoing AFC Asian Cup.
India are coming on the back of a 2-0 loss against one of the favourites in Australia. While they couldn’t earn any point, Igor Stimac’s men earned plaudits for the way the team defended, especially in the first half where the Socceroos couldn’t break the deadlock.
Uzbekistan, on the other hand, kicked off their AFC Asian Cup campaign against Syria. The game ended in a goalless stalemate as the two teams shared the spoils.
Both teams will be looking to earn a win in order to strengthen their ambitions of progressing to the next round.
