India vs Nepal Prediction Preview:
Welcome to the IND vs NEP Today Prediction curated by Kheltalk football experts. After a win in the previous game against eternal arch-rivals Pakistan, India shifts their focus to their next game against Nepal.
A 4-0 drubbing of Pakistan was a treat for the fans as they also witnessed a sensational performance from India’s talismanic skipper Sunil Chhetri.
The 38-year-old footballer netted 3 goals and scored the hat-trick in supreme fashion. Sunil Chhetri will be once again in the spotlight as India take on Nepal.
Nepal couldn’t outclass their opponents in the form of Kuwait in Match 1 of the SAFF Championship 2023. They also don’t have a good track record against India and have lost 4 out of their last 5 games against India.
India will be sheer favourites ahead of this fixture against Nepal at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru. They will be up against Vincenzo Annese, who was the Head Coach of the NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) team in the recently-concluded Indian Super League (ISL) 2022-23.
He knows the brand of football that is played in India and would be eager to stage an upset win over India.
