India will take on two-time FIFA World Cup champions Uruguay in their final high-profile international friendly of the September-October FIFA window on Tuesday.
India enter the match after a difficult outing against five-time world champions Brazil. The Blue Tigers suffered a 4-0 defeat in Kolkata on October 3, although Khalid Jamil's side showed discipline and remained competitive until the 25-minute mark in the first half. Brazil eventually pulled away through goals from Estêvão, Pedro and Samuel Lino.
Before the Brazil game, India secured a 1-1 draw against Panama in Bengaluru. Ryan Williams gave India the lead in the first half before Omar Valencia equalised for Panama after the break.
Uruguay, meanwhile, have had mixed results since Diego Forlán took charge. La Celeste began their Asian tour with a 3-1 defeat to Japan, with Maximiliano Araújo scoring Uruguay's only goal.
They bounced back strongly against South Korea, recording a 4-1 win in Seoul. Darwin Núñez scored twice, while Giorgian de Arrascaeta also found the net and South Korea conceded an own goal.
