A draw in India vs Kyrgyzstan Republic is enough for Blue Tigers to win the Tri-Nation International Football tournament on Tuesday, but head coach Igor Simac said the hosts will go all out for a win.

India vs Kyrgyzstan: Match Preview:

The Blue Tigers began with a slender 1-0 win over Myanmar on Wednesday last. They need just a draw to win the tournament after Kyrgyz Republic snatched a 1-1 draw against Myanmar in the second match of the tournament on Saturday.

Kyrgyzstan, on the other hand, will require a win against India to claim the trophy. The Kyrgyz Republic saw their opening tie of the tournament end as a 1-1 draw against Myanmar.

Heading into the next game against the hosts, the side will aim to put up a better display and secure a win.

One can expect a whole host of changes from the Indian team head coach Igor Stimac, who did not select players in the starting lineup that took part in the 2022-23 Indian Super League final, apart from skipper Sunil Chhetri.
