Bangladesh chose the Maldives in the November window to be in an advantageous position in the draw for the Asia Cup qualifiers. But Bangladesh lost the first match in the two-match home series and the host Bangladesh is on the back foot. Bangladesh has no choice but to win today if they want to equalize. On the other hand, the draw will continue for the visiting Maldives. The match will start at 6 pm at Bashundhara Kings Arena.
Bangladesh did not get a goal despite playing well in the first match. On the contrary, Maldives secured their victory by one goal. That's why Bangladesh's goal today is to score goals, even though Bangladesh played well in the first match, they could not win, so it is natural that no one will evaluate the game. We will want to win the match on Saturday. We have this ability.'
Maldives coach Ali Suzein is in high spirits after winning the first match. Want to win today's match and return to Maldives. That's why he can change the strategy, 'Bangladesh will want to win tomorrow's match. We don't want to let that happen. That's why I can change the strategy and play. We also want to go back home with two consecutive wins.'
Senior footballer of Bangladesh Sohel Rana. He wants to win by correcting the mistakes of the previous match, 'In the first match we had many opportunities to score. We could not capitalize on the opportunity. Forgetting that match, we are now focusing on the second match. The way I played in the first match, I think I can bounce back well in the second match. Every player of ours has this confidence.'
