Syria vs India: All time head-to-head record

It is a ‘do or die’ game for both Syria and India.

In a high-stakes encounter with both teams facing a do-or-die situation, India and Syria will square off in the AFC Asian Cup 2023 Group B. The scenario is particularly intense for India, who find themselves with zero points after two games, while Syria holds a slender lifeline with one point. As both teams desperately seek a victory to keep their knockout stage hopes alive, the match takes a monumental significance in the tournament.

Historical Significance: A Journey Through SIX Encounters

The footballing history between India and Syria dates back to the Nehru Cup 2007 when they first crossed paths in Delhi. Since then, these nations have contested in a total of six matches, with the most recent encounter taking place in the Intercontinental Cup 2019 in Ahmedabad. In this historical timeline, India have showcased dominance with three victories, while Syria managed to secure two. One game concluded in a draw, creating a compelling backdrop for their upcoming clash in the AFC Asian Cup.

India with a Good H2H Record

In the context of head-to-head encounters, India hold a commendable record against Syria. Out of the six matches played, the Blue Tigers emerged victorious in three, underscoring their historical advantage in this footballing rivalry. As the two teams prepare for their Group B showdown, India will draw confidence from their past performances against Syria.

Group B Showdown: A Battle for Survival

The upcoming clash is not just about pride; it’s about survival in the AFC Asian Cup 2023. Both India and Syria are well aware of the stakes, with the top two positions in the group already out of reach for the Blue Tigers. For Igor Stimac’s side, securing all three points is crucial. Also, they must rely on favorable permutations and combinations to finish as one of the four best third-placed teams to qualify for the Round of 16.

India’s journey in the tournament has been challenging, but they enter this decisive game with the hope of turning their fortunes around. A win would not only provide them with valuable points but also keep their dreams of progressing alive.
