Indian men's football team look to end their poor run of form when they take on Vietnam in an international friendly fixture in Nam Dinh on Saturday. India remain without a win in 2024 and have struggled to adapt to new manager Manolo Marquez's system so far.
The Blue Tigers have registered three draws and six defeats in their nine international matches in 2024 and their last win came against Kuwait in the FIFA World Cup qualifier game in November 2023. Notably, India have struggled in the final third with just 2 goals entire year, including one from a penalty by former captain Sunil Chhetri.
FC Goa head coach Manolo Marquez replaced Igor Stimac to stabilise India's fall but suffered a 0-0 draw against low-ranked Mauritius and a 0-3 loss against Syria in the September friendly games.
On the other hand, Vietnam sit 10 places above the 126th-ranked Indian side and will enter the upcoming home fixture as clear favourites. Vietnam thrashed India 3-0 in the previous meeting in 2022 and maintain two wins in three encounters in the 21st century.
