India suffered a 2-0 defeat to Australia on Matchday One while Uzbekistan settled for a point against Syria. <\/p>\n
Inaugural meeting
\nThis will be the first time that India and Uzbekistan are facing off at the AFC Asian Cup; though, Uzbekistan are unbeaten from their six previous men\u2019s internationals against India (W4 D2) including a 2-1 win in their most recent encounter (June 2001).<\/p>\n
Tough stat
\nIndia have lost nine of their last 11 games at the AFC Asian Cup (W1 D1) including their last three in a row; though, their 69% pass accuracy against Australia in their opening game of the current tournament was their highest in any of their last five AFC Asian Cup matches.<\/p>\n
In need of goals
\nEach of Uzbekistan\u2019s last two ties at the AFC Asian Cup have ended in 0-0 draws; having never previously played out a goalless game at the tournament (27 prior matches).<\/p>\n
Resolute defending
\nIndia blocked 12 shots on Matchday One, twice as many as the remaining three teams in Group B combined (6), with India duo Rahul Bheke and Sandesh Jhingan each making four blocks.<\/p>\n
Almost perfect
\nUzbekistan’s Umarbek Eshmurodov had an accuracy of 98% from his 57 passes on Matchday One, the highest of any player from Group B, while teammate Otabek Shukurov (98) made the third-most pass attempts overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
