India Vs Qatar: Hope for miracle in football today, India will enter FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against Qatar – India Vs Qatar Fifa World Cup 2026 Afc Qualifiers Match Preview Live Streaming Head To Head Record

The Indian football team will take on Qatar in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday (November 21) in the second round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. This is the toughest challenge India will face in Group A. In this way, a miraculous performance is expected from the players of Team India. After defeating Kuwait 1-0 in the first match of the qualifiers, the Indian team’s spirits have increased. India will hope to give Qatar a tough match on home soil but the visitors will start as strong contenders.

The Indian team held the Asian champions Qatar to a goalless draw four years ago and will act as inspiration for the team in this match. India stunned the football world by holding Qatar to a goalless draw on 10 September 2019 in the 2022 World Cup second round qualifiers. Qatar was in tremendous form at the time and won the Asia Cup title at the beginning of 2019. Charismatic Indian captain Sunil Chhetri did not take the field in that match as he was unwell but he will be eager to showcase his skills at the Kalinga Stadium on Tuesday.

Even with the presence of Sunil Chhetri, it is unlikely that the Indian team will attack more than Qatar. The biggest challenge for the Indian team will be to stop Qatar’s star striker Almoiz Ali, who scored four goals against Afghanistan. In the absence of Anwar Ali, the Indian defense is a bit weak. Apart from Ali, the Indian coach Igor Stimech will not get the services of Jackson Singh in this important match. Ali got injured during Mohun Bagan’s AFC Cup match while Kerala Blasters’ Jackson got injured in Indian Super League match against Mumbai FC.

Also look at the 2027 AFC Asian Cup
Sahal Abdul Samad and Manveer Singh in the middle order will be challenged to blunt the edge of Qatar’s front line and create opportunities for the Indian front line. Apart from India and Qatar, Group A also has the teams of Kuwait and Afghanistan. The top two teams in the group will qualify for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup with the third round of FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The Indian team has never reached the third round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and hopes have been raised after the team’s 1-0 win over Kuwait.

Goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh led the team in that match against Qatar in 2019 and will once again be at the forefront of keeping Qatar from scoring at the Kalinga Stadium. Qatar, ranked 61st in the world rankings, thrashed Afghanistan 8-1 in their opening match on November 16 in Doha. The team will try to continue this streak against India.

India vs Qatar Head to Head
So far three matches have been played between India and Qatar. Qatar has named two matches. A match has been a draw.
