India vs Hong Kong, AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers 2027 - Head to Head Record

The historical head to head record between the two teams suggests this should be a very close encounter indeed. 

The record reads 9-8 in India's favour, albeit it is a very slender advantage for the Blue Tigers. What's more, the teams have also played out 7 draws. 

The 2 teams clashed in 2022 during the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers for 2023, with India registering a comfortable 4-0 victory on the night.

What's more, the side are now coached by Ashley Westwood - a man who has coached extensively in India and the Indian Super League, and who led Afghanistan to an upset win over India in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers last year.
