Vietnam vs India Predicted playing XI for the Blue Tigers

By Sayantan Guha Modified 27 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Sunil Chhetri is expected to lead India's attacking line against Vietnam. (Image Courtesy: AIFF Media) In their first friendly at the Hung Thinh Tournament, the Indian men's national team suffered a frustrating 1-1 draw against a lower-ranked Singapore. The Blue Tigers will next lock horns against Vietnam, who are expected to pose a stronger challenge. After the performance against Singapore, Indian head coach Igor Stimac might look to shuffle his pack. With Vietnam being a superior opposition, the Croatian might opt for a previously attempted 5-3-2 formation. Indian Football Team@IndianFootball MATCHDAY

Goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu

Although he conceded an unfortunate goal from a deflected free-kick against Singapore, Gurpreet did very little to lose his place in the starting XI.

Right wing-back Naorem Roshan Singh

While playing as a full-back, the slight defensive lapses in Roshan's game were often highlighted and his attacking prowess was limited. But in a five-at-the-back system, he can truly shine down the flanks.

Centre-back Anwar Ali

The FC Goa defender had a neat game against Singapore and held on to his own for the most part.

Centre-back Sandesh Jhingan

The veteran centre-back missed the game against Singapore. However, Stimac has hinted that Sandesh could make his comeback against Vietnam.

Centre-back Chinglensana Singh

Quite like Sandesh, the Hyderabad FC defender was rested for the first game. But given his ball-playing abilities and agility, Chinglesana could fit into the third and final centre-back spot.

Left wing-back Akash Mishra

The young full-back will expectedly move wider to play as w wing-back after a decent outing against Singapore.

Central midfielder Jeakson Singh

Jeakson held the midfield together for the Blue Tigers and showed a lot of calm and composure in the previous game. Hence, there's no reason for him to lose his place.

Central midfielder Anirudh Thapa

Against Singapore, Thapa delivered one of his best performances in the recent past but still left a lot more to be desired.

Attacking midfielder Brandon Fernandes

Brandon sat out the last game but could fit into the three-man midfield playing as a natural No. 10 if Stimac does opt for that system. Indian Football Team@IndianFootball‘Focussed’ #BlueTigers look to take on Vietnam

Centre-forward Liston Colaco

The ATK Mohun Bagan forward was one of the most frustrating players in the previous encounter, losing possession on multiple occasions. However, in a two-man striking system with Sunil Chhetri, Colaco could do well.

Centre-forward Sunil Chhetri

The skipper didn't put in a great performance against Singapore. However, he still provided the assist for Ashique Kuruniyan's goal. Chhetri will expectedly lead India's attacking line once again.
