India vs Vanuatu – Head-to-Head Record

India has never previously faced Vanuatu. It will be the first time these two teams come up against each other.

Team News

All players in the Team India camp except Suresh Wangjam is fully fit and are available for this match.

IFTWC’s Prediction

The only goalscorer for Vanuatu this season is their midfielder John Wohale when he scored the consolation goal for the team when they played against Lebanon and lost the match 3-1. It will be a massive letdown for India if they don’t come away with a win against Vanuatu. They will look to have a better outing in front of goal given the plethora of chances they missed in their 2-0 win against Mongolia.

IFTWC predicts a 3-1 victory for the Blues against Vanuatu.

The match will kick off at 7.30 PM. The game will be telecasted live on Star Sports Network, Disney+ Hotstar, and JioTV.
