India will be facing Lebanon in the Kings Cup third place play-off with the Blue Tigers confident of another impressive game. The team did exceptionally well against Iraq in the first qualifier, a game many believe the team should have won. Iraq is ahead of India in terms of both rankings and the style of play but credit to Igor Stimac and his managerial class, the Blue Tigers looked comfortable out there and created plenty of chances. Two controversial penalties denied India the win but these things are part of the game and the team will be looking to secure a victory against Lebanon, who lost out to Thailand in their qualifier.

Ashique Kuruniyan and Rahil Ali will not be part of the starting eleven for India as confirmed by the team management. Lallianzuala Chhangte will undergo a late fitness test to determine his availability for the clash. Sahal Abdul Samad was impressive in the last match and he will shoulder the bulk of the attacking responsibility once again. Anirudh Thapa in midfield will provide the much-needed energy to break up their team’s play.
Ali Al Haj, Daniel Lajud and Karim Darwich form the front three for Lebanon with Hassan Maatouk as the creative impetus in midfield. Mehdi Khalil was impressive in goal in the last game and he should expect a busy evening against India. Walid Shour will marshal the troops in the backline with Hasan Srour as the shield in the middle.
