• Afghanistan are at the bottom of the table in Group A as they lost two matches against Kuwait and Qatar.
• This is going to be Afghanistan’s first official game of this year. They did not qualify for the AFC Asian Cup.

Under the guidance of manager Igor Stimac, India have made decent progress. He has inculcated a more possession-based and attacking style of play. However, the poor display in the AFC Asian Cup led to many debates regarding his role. Even though the training sessions are beneficial the team somehow fails to perform against their opponents. In the AFC Asian Cup, they lost all their group stage matches and on top of that, they did not score a single goal.

Afghanistan lost back-to-back against Kuwait and Qatar. Against Qatar, it was a disastrous game for The Lions of Khorasan as they lost by conceding eight goals. In the last six months, they have not participated in any major competitions apart from the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Afghanistan vs India Prediction

Afghanistan have been in poor form leading up to this match. They lost two games and scored just one goal. Our analysis shows that in the last two years, Afghanistan have won just two international matches against Mongolia in the First Round of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

India, on the other hand, have shown inconsistency in their recent outings. Despite facing low-ranked opponents, they have struggled to score goals. The past encounters do not guarantee victory under the present circumstances. In all competitions, the Blue Tigers lost seven of their last eight outings. The only victory was against Kuwait back in November 2023. Many fans were optimistic about India’s performance in the AFC Asian Cup however they were shocked as they made an exit from the group stage. This created a lot of problems, especially in the FIFA ranking where India dropped down to the 117^th place. We see this game ending in a draw at the _ odds.

India did not score a single goal in their group stage fixtures in the AFC Asian Cup. Afghanistan are also weak in front of the goal. This was evident when they faced Kuwait and Qatar previously. Therefore, Under 2.5 goals at the _ odds is the prefect option to take from this match.
