China PR India betting prediction

The away team plays its first friendly match of the year, after having played 4 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: India (1‑1) St. Kitts and Nevis, India (2‑1) Mauritius, India (2‑0) Nepal and Cambodia (2‑3) India. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 13 conceded. In their last match, for the SAFF Championship, they got an away loss against Maldives by (2‑1). In the last 5 away matches India has won 3 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 11 of the last 14 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 3 of those 11 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 10 of them.

India heads to this match after a 2-1 away loss to the Maldives, in a game to count for the SAFF Championship. Coach Stephen Constantine usually plays in a traditional 4-2-3-1, preferring a more direct style of playing, attacking quickly through the aisles. In the midfield it is possible for Halder, Thapa and Sunil Chhetri to play, the latter notable for his quality in passing and game vision. The Indian coach can count on all his players.

Confirmed Lineup: Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, Subashish Bose, Sandesh Jhingan, Pritam Kotal, Narayan Das, Anirudh Thapa, Pronay Halder, Holicharan Narzary, Sunil Chhetri, Jeje Lalpekhlua, Udanta Singh Kumam.
Coach: I. Štimac.
