صاحب‌خبر -

Qatar v India
India will have to defeat Qatar to be absolutely sure of booking their spot in the third round of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers for the first time.
Igor Stimac’s side are tied on five points with Afghanistan, with Kuwait one adrift but India have a superior goal difference.

The South Asian side would have been boosted by Afghanistan holding Qatar to a goalless stalemate on Thursday, with the reigning AFC Asian Cup champions fielding a young side.
It will be India’s first match since Sunil Chhetri’s retirement from international football and Stimac will be hoping his players rise to the occasion.

Kuwait v Afghanistan
Kuwait host Afghanistan with both sides knowing that a win may not be enough if India defeat Qatar.
Both sides, however, will be determined to fight till the end, with Afghanistan seeking a first ever appearance in the third round and Kuwait looking to qualify for the FIFA World Cup for a second time, having featured in the 1982 edition.

Venue: Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium (Doha)
