    How did India perform in 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers?

  • The Blue Tigers face a tough start to their campaign with Oman (home) on September 5 and Qatar (away) on September 10.

    This could set the tone for the rest of the matches.

    They take on Bangladesh at home on October 15.

    In November, India play twice away against Afghanistan and Oman (November 14 and 19).

    India's next matches are in March and June.

  • Qatar are the heavyweights in this group and are destined to take first place.

    If India have to qualify for the next round, then they need to stay ahead of Oman and finish second.

    Also, India cannot take Afghanistan and Bangladesh lightly.

    One will hope that coach Stimac, who earlier guided Croatia, can use all his experience and help India.
