India vs Singapore Highlights: Follow AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers Replay

Indian Football team are determined to get their first win of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers when they host Singapore at the Fatorda Stadium (Goa) on Tuesday, 14 October 2025.

The Blue Tigers need to win their remaining qualifiers to have a real chance at making the Asian Cup, which is why this clash against a tenacious and unpredictable Singapore clash will be a do-or-die effort for Khalid Jamil’s men.

The Stakes

India

Indian Football team have not been able to win any of their AFC Asian Cup qualifiers so far, only picking up two points from a maximum of nine.

The odds are now stacked against them, and despite earning a valuable point away to Singapore in the next game, the Blue Tigers now need to amp up their performance levels. Khalid Jamil needs his side to not only be defensively unbreakable, but also smooth and efficient in their attacking moves.

He needs the players to be effective in troubling the defenders with clever link-up play and be especially clinical in actually finishing off chances.

India need to tap into their ruthless best to get a big win over Singapore, which could raise their momentum levels and get it back to competing for the top place in the group. Another draw or loss could, however, effectively end their dream of qualifying for the 2027 Asian Cup.

Singapore

Singapore saw their hard work in the last game against India undone by a silly error towards the end. That now ends up putting Gavin Lee’s side back to the wall as they aim to win back the top spot in the group from Hong Kong. That is why this is such a crucial game for Singapore, who will need to treat it like a final and put their all to get a win and place pressure back on Hong Kong in the battle for first place.

Singapore will need to be defensively much sturdier and error-free to frustrate India at their own yard, while they also need to be more decisive in the final third to really hurt the hosts. An away win for Singapore can catapult them right back into the reckoning for the top spot in the group, but a loss could potentially see them fall far behind in the race for first place.

Team News

Khalid Jamil will be without Sandesh Jhingan, who was sent off in the draw against Singapore. Subhasish Bose and Lalengmawia Ralte have joined the India squad and are in line to make an appearance.

Gavin Lee should have the same squad available as he did in the previous game against India.
