India are eternal favorites against Bangladesh on the football field. The statistics of past encounters between the two countries leans in favor of India. Many of this generation have never seen Bangladesh win against India. Bangladesh’s last outright loss to India was in 1999 at the SAFF Games in Kathmandu, Nepal. In 2003, SAF won the semi-final of the championship in Dhaka with a golden goal.
After 2021, the two countries are facing each other again. On March 25, the two arch-rivals of South Asia will meet again in the Asian Cup qualifying match. The inclusion of English league footballer Hamza Chowdhury has brought a different atmosphere to this match. The football fans of the country are in an exciting mood with the arrival of Hamza. Happy coach Javier Cabrera and other players of the team.
India is favorite in this match too. The Indian players have already announced that they will win the match without allowing Bangladesh to score any goals. Hamza also expressed his hope of defeating India by stepping foot in Bangladesh. What is the coach thinking in such a situation? Back in Dhaka from Saudi Arabia, Cabrera said, the chances are fifty-fifty in the match against India.
Bangladesh coach said, ‘India is a very strong team. This match will be difficult for us. We will try our best. We can expect a fifty-fifty match. Practiced in Saudi for 12 days in state-of-the-art facilities. I am very happy with Saudi practice. Now we have to look ahead.
