Myanmar men’s national football team will play a decisive World Cup Qualifier Group F match against the Tajikistan team today at Yanmar Stadium in Nagai, Osaka, Japan.
The match will start at 4:55 pm Myanmar Standard Time.
In the previous meet in the same group, Myanmar beat the team Tajikistan 4-3. The match was played at Mandalar Thiri Stadium in Mandalay on 14 November 2019.
With a fifth place in the standings on the line, Myanmar hopes for fourth place to finish as one of the top five runners-up.
Tajikistan is currently standing in the third position but with the same points and goal differences as the second-place sitter Kyrgyzstan.
If Tajikistan wins Myanmar, they will finish second in the standings and give themselves a chance of advancing to the final round of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Qualifiers.
Myanmar head coach Antoine Hey is likely to use his favourite players — Suan Lam Mang and Maung Maung Lwin — in the striker position. Both of them had scored crucial goals in the last meet against Tajikistan Mandalar Thiri Stadium in Mandalay on 14 November 2019. — GNLM
