India Preview – Can India win back-to-back?
A 2-0 win against the bottom nation in Group E, Bangladesh, saw India claim their first win in this group stage and they’ll be seeking to make it two wins on the trot when they take on Afghanistan at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium and finish what has been a disappointing campaign at least on a positive note.
Although India have managed to pick up just the one win to date though in these qualifiers, they have at least picked up some encouraging points in draws with Qatar, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, so they’ll be hopeful of getting something out of this clash.
Previous history also appears to be on India’s side as they’ve lost just one of the previous eight meetings against Afghanistan.
Afghanistan Preview – Can Afghanistan break drought?
Afghanistan head into this final match in Group E looking to halt a five-match winless slump which has left them sitting second from bottom and a point behind their upcoming opponents, India, at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium.
Recent defeats against Oman (twice) and Qatar have found Afghanistan wanting and have come off second-best while draws with India and Bangladesh have at least seen them pick up a couple of useful points.
However, the bigger picture shows that Afghanistan have won just four of their 21 World Cup qualifiers in their short footballing history on the international stage and they’ve also struggled against India in previous exchanges, losing five of the previous eight meetings.
