Head-to-head statistics Tajikistan - India
Tajikistan Team Overview
Tajikistan entered the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup at the second round, which ultimately proved to be their final stop. Drawn into a group with Saudi Arabia and Jordan, the Persian Lions finished third, managing to beat only the struggling outsiders from Pakistan in both of their meetings. Nevertheless, Tajikistan are currently on a six-game unbeaten run in official matches, having secured a place in the final stage of Asian Cup qualification.
Match Results: Tajikistan
India Team Overview
Much like their upcoming opponents in this friendly, India made an early exit from the Asian World Cup qualifiers, finishing bottom of their group alongside Qatar, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. The Blue Tigers also struggled in their Asian Cup qualification campaign, once again ending up at the foot of their group. In 2026, India have played two friendlies, suffering defeats to Jamaica (0-2) and Zimbabwe (0-1).

Editor’s Prediction
Both the FIFA rankings and recent results make it clear why Tajikistan are the clear favourites with the bookmakers here. The Persian Lions have bounced back quickly after their World Cup qualifying exit and secured a spot in the Asian Cup finals, unlike their Indian counterparts.
The only real advantage for the Blue Tigers might be their match fitness, but they suffered back-to-back goalless defeats in friendlies last month. All signs point towards a comfortable home win here. Our prediction: Tajikistan to win. A likely scoreline is 2-0, considering Tajikistan have scored more than two goals in just two of their last twenty friendlies.
