Muscat, October 12
Virtually out of reckoning after four losses in a row, the beleaguered Indian football team would look to salvage some pride and put up a decent performance against higher-ranked Oman in a World Cup qualifying round match.
India are without a win in their World Cup qualifying campaign — they even lost to lower-ranked Guam. In the five-team group, India are yet to open their account and have scored just three goals so far.
The visitors face an uphill task against Oman, ranked 102nd in FIFA charts as against the 167th of India, who had emerged 2-1 victorious in the first leg in Bengaluru.
Pressure has been piling on the players and coach Stephen Constantine, who took up the job early this year. — PTI
