FIFA World Cup Qualifiers:  Friday the 13th! It is a rare date that is considered ominous in many cultures. Superstition is something that most in the world of football brush aside before big matches, though the Indian Football Team will be looking to spring a few surprises against their hosts Malaysia in the opening game of the Festival of Independence, also known in the local language as the Pestabola Merdeka.

Indian head coach Igor Stimac said on the eve of the Malaysia game, “We know about the good runs Malaysia have had in the past few months. They have a good coach and some wonderful homegrown players, who are very well supported by the naturalised players, so there is a lot of stability in the team at the moment.”

Malaysia have played nine international matches so far this year and boast an impressive record of six wins, two draws, and just one defeat.
