A victory in this game is necessary though India will require good results in other games in order to advance. Jamil emphasized on the need to use the advantages of the home and perform with confidence and calmness in the pressure. To strengthen the team Jamil has summoned defenders Subhasish Bose and midfielder Lalengmawia Ralte (Apuia). Sandesh Jhingan is suspended, which means that the vacancy of left back is filled by Bose, and the experience of Apuia should solidify the midfield. The coach has also stressed on team unity and flexibility where he notes that the players should be well prepared to change techniques as the game progresses.
