However, since then, the host nation has recovered from the initial blip and registered consecutive victories. Head coach Venkatesh's side will come into the final following wins against Nepal, Maldives, and Sri Lanka.

SAFF U-20 Championship Final Quotes from the coaches Indian head coach Shanmugam Venkatesh, in an interaction with the AIFF media team, underlined that playing in the final is a completely different feeling. The former Indian Arrows gaffer stated: “I myself have won three SAFF championships as a player and a captain, and also been in two SAFF Finals as the assistant coach of the senior national team. It’s been a special feeling every time. We have all been telling our boys of the same experiences, and they are all looking forward to the match.” Given the rich vein of form the Blue Tigers have enjoyed, India will enter the final as the outright favorites. However, Venkatesh warned his players against any complacency and said: “Bangladesh are a good side, and they have shown just as much in our first game. We did struggle a bit in our first match, but we have found our footing and the boys are more confident now." Bangladesh head coach Paul Smalley is very confident going into the final stages of the tournament. The Englishman said that the visitors understand how to expose India's weaknesses. Smalley stated: “We very much understand how to expose their weaknesses, as much as they would be working on exposing ours. We wish them all the best for the game."
