India team news

India head into this clash with a fully fit squad, having avoided any injuries or suspensions in their opening win against Tajikistan. Coach Khalid Jamil retains the freedom to select his preferred starting eleven, giving him the opportunity to implement his tactical plan effectively. The Blue Tigers will focus on defensive solidity, quick transitions, and exploiting set-piece opportunities. Jamil is likely to emphasise closing down spaces, maintaining discipline, and taking chances clinically. Key players will be expected to step up in attack while the defensive unit remains compact to counter Iran’s potent offensive threats.

Iran team news

Iran also arrive for this game with a fully fit squad after comfortably defeating Afghanistan 3-1 in their opener. Coach Amir Ghalenoei has the luxury of selecting his strongest line-up, aiming to assert control through proactive attacking play. The team will look to exploit India’s defensive gaps, maintain possession, and be clinical in front of goal. Iran’s forwards and creative midfielders will be crucial in breaking down India’s compact shape, while their defence will focus on containing counter-attacks. A win will cement their place in the knockout stage, while anything less could disrupt their rhythm and confidence in the tournament.
