Eyeing a top finish in their group, the Indian Under-19 national team is set to face Thailand's Chonburi FC tomorrow in its third and last home match of the FAM-FRENZ Asia Champions Trophy 2015 at the Tilak Maidan here.
The Indian boys have garnered seven points out of four matches and find themselves at tied third spot with Malaysia's Frenz United A and Chonburi FC. However a win against Chonburi FC will propel the Indian contingent to top place in Group A.
The Indian colts have lost their away match against the visitors but their 2-1 win over Malaysia's Frenz United gives them the needed boost to play against the visitors.
Indian coach Lee Johnson is confident that his boys can do well against the visitors, who are the one of the best teams in this tournament and are the National champions of Thailand.
"If we emulate that same performance which we displayed in our win against Malaysian club Frez United A, we have good chance to win tomorrow and move to the top of the table," said Johnson.
