KOLKATA: With eyes on the "big prize" and having a "wonderful headache", Igor Stimac's India brace for Hong Kong's challenge at that Salt Lake Stadium here on Tuesday, looking for a perfect end to their Asian Cup qualifying campaign.
Both teams go into the contest with six points each, but Jorn Anderson's Hong Kong are topping the standings thanks to a better goal difference. Winners of six groups, now in action across the continent, as well as five best-placed runners-up will join the already qualified 13 teams in next year's Asian Cup. Given the standings in other groups, both India and Hong Kong are favourably placed to make the cut.
