IND vs AFGH Dream11 Teams

GK: Gurpreet Singh Sandhu
DEF: Sandesh Jhingan, Subhasish Bose, Masih Saighani
MID: Brandon Fernandes, Bipin Singh, Omid Popalzay, Faisal Faysal Shayestah
FW: Sunil Chhetri, Manvir Singh, Amiruddin Sharifi

Captain options

Sunil Chhetri: The Indian football team captain is the obvious choice for captaincy. He is the second highest active scorer in international competitions across the world and scored twice against Bangladesh to take India over the line. 

Faisal Shayesteh: The Afghan midfielder will lead the centre of the park for the away nation. Shayestah is a veteran and has tonnes of experience of playing against sides like India who like to use the wings. Shayestah is creative and has a brilliant vision with the ball and will be the chief creator.

Differential Picks

Brandon Fernandes: Brandon Fernandes has a handsome flair for passing in his game. He likes to play with the ball and can get away from several markers by a single solo run in the midfield. He possesses excellent passing abilities and the Indian football team will bank on him to create the openings.

Additional Fantasy Tips

Set-Pieces: Brandon Fernandes and Sunil Chhetri usually are on the set-pieces for the Indian football team and will be a duo to focus on as they have greater chances to score.

Likely first goal-scorer: Afghanistan are likely to score first and Amiruddin Sharifi is expected to open the scoring.

Clean sheets: The two shot-stoppers Gurpreet Singh Sandhu and Ovays Azizi are likely to keep a clean sheet as both teams lack individual brilliance and are on par with each other when it comes to finishing chances.

Who will win?

Both teams are pretty much evenly matched and the game could go either way. Since India need a draw while a win is necessary for Afghanistan, both teams will go with a different mindset but a draw looks a likely result after weighing up all factors.
