India vs Syria Live Streaming: How To Watch IND vs SYR AFC Asian Cup 2024 Match Live?

Indian men's football team will face Syria in a do-or-die game of AFC Asian Cup football tournament on Tuesday.

Winless, and pointless, after losing two group matches, India need nothing more than a win to keep alive their faint hopes of making the knockout stage.

The IND vs SYR match will be played at the Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar's Al Khor from 5 PM IST onwards.

The India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup Group B match will be broadcast live on the Sports18 channel.

JioCinema will live stream the India vs Syria football match on its app and website.

India is currently at the bottom of Group B after facing defeats in their initial two matches against Australia (0-2) and Uzbekistan (0-3). India must get three points against Syria to secure the third spot and hope for the results in the other groups to go in their favour.

Syria, who secured a draw against Uzbekistan in their opening match, currently holds the upper hand in the competition for the third spot in the group.

Syria are currently ranked at 91st in the FIFA chart, 11 places above India (102nd) but a victory is not impossible for the Igor Stimac-coached side as they had won in the past -- in 2007, 2009 and 2012 Nehru Cup tournaments.

The last time the two sides met, the match ended in a 1-1 draw in the 2019 Intercontinental Cup in Ahmedabad, and Stimac was also in charge of the Indian team then.

If India wins against Syria, they will finish third in Group B but even that will not guarantee them a place in the round of 16. With a goal difference of minus five, the deciding factor if teams are tied on points - after two matches, it may be difficult for India to be one of the four third-placed teams out of six to progress to the knockout stage.

The last group matches will be held on Thursday (Group E and F) and India will have to wait till then to know their fate even if they beat Syria on Tuesday.
