The Indian national football team will play their second friendly game in a span of four days when they take on the European nation Belarus. The Blue Tigers lost out 1-2 to  Bahrain in their previous match which was another setback in Igor Stimac’s underachieving rein at the helm of Indian football. The final round of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup starts from June 8 in Kolkata and it is imperative the Croatian manager instills some confidence in his team. Belarus play India followed by Bahrain as they gear up for their UEFA Nations League C. India versus Belarus starts at 9:30 PM IST and there is no telecast in India although the game may be streamed on Indian Football's YouTube channel. When Is India vs Belarus 2022 Football Match? Know Date, Venue and Kick-Off Time in IST of International Friendly Fixture

Rahul Bheke scored his first international goal against Bahrain but India will need him to be at his best on the other end of the pitch. Belarus, like any other European side, will press high up the pitch and this is where midfielders like Anirudh Thapa have their task cut out. Manvir Singh has established himself as the first choice no 9 under Igor Stimac but needs to be involved more in games, particularly during periods of low possession.

Andrey Solovey and Dzmitry Padstrelaw will be vying for a place in the starting eleven for Belarus for the lone striker role. Vladislav Klimovich in midfield is the one that makes the team tick with his passing range. Yevgeny Yablonsky as the holding midfielder will shield the backline but with his team likely to dominate possession, he could also push forward and make numbers in the opposition box.
