India will attempt to secure their spot in the third round of 2026 World Cup qualifying when they travel to Doha for Tuesday's meeting with Qatar. The hosts have already assured their place in the next qualifying stage after taking 13 points from their five matches.
Qatar may have appeared at the 2022 World Cup as hosts, but they have never achieved qualification for football's biggest tournament. While there is still a long way to go in the current campaign, Qatar can be pleased with their efforts in the second stage, having outperformed India, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. They began their qualifying bid for the 2026 World Cup with four consecutive victories, securing their spot in the next round with two games to spare.
With little to play for in the current international window, a relatively inexperienced Qatar side had to settle for a goalless draw in Thursday's meeting with Afghanistan in Saudi Arabia. The reigning Asia Cup champions will now turn their focus to Tuesday's fixture, where they will attempt to extend their unbeaten run to 10 matches in all competitions.
In contrast, India still have work to do if they are to keep their hopes alive of reaching their first World Cup finals. India are sitting in second position and level on five points with third-placed Afghanistan while having a slender one-point advantage over the group's bottom side Kuwait. Igor Stimac's side had to settle for a goalless draw in Thursday's home game against Kuwait, leaving them without a win in seven competitive matches.
India's all-time appearance holder and record run scorer Sunil Chhetri made his final appearance for his country in the stalemate, having decided to call time on his 19-year international career. While Chhetri heads off into the sunset, India will now go in search of a win that would secure them a place in the third stage, barring a significant swing in goal difference. A draw would also be enough if the group's other game finishes all square, while a defeat would result in elimination.
Qatar forward Yusuf Abdurisag will serve a one-match suspension, having collected two yellow cards during the qualifying campaign. Coach Marquez could be tempted to freshen up his side, with Abdullah Al-Ahrak, Mahdi Al-Mejaba, and Mohamed Khaled Gouda all pushing for starting spots after featuring as substitutes in Thursday's draw.
As for the visitors, they can no longer call upon Chhetri after India's talisman bid farewell to the international stage in Thursday's draw with Kuwait. Mumbai City's Vikram Partrap will be available for selection after missing the draw with Kuwait due to suspension.
Qatar may have named a relatively inexperienced squad for the current international window, but they still possess the quality required to claim three points in Tuesday's clash with India. I predict a 1-0 victory for Qatar.

周二，印度将前往多哈与卡塔尔进行比赛，以确保他们在2026年世界杯预选赛第三轮的席位。东道主在5场比赛中积13分，已经确保了下一阶段的出线资格。
卡塔尔可能以东道主的身份出现在2022年世界杯上，但他们从未获得足球最大赛事的资格。虽然在目前的比赛中还有很长的路要走，但卡塔尔可以对他们在第二阶段的努力感到满意，他们的表现超过了印度、阿富汗和科威特。他们以四连胜开始了2026年世界杯的预选赛，在还剩两场比赛的情况下确保了下一轮的参赛资格。
由于目前的国际比赛窗口没什么可踢的，相对缺乏经验的卡塔尔队不得不满足于周四在沙特阿拉伯与阿富汗的一场0比0的平局。亚洲杯卫冕冠军现在将把注意力转向周二的比赛，在那里他们将努力将他们的不败纪录扩大到10场。
相比之下，如果印度想要保持首次进入世界杯决赛的希望，他们还有很多工作要做。印度目前排名第二，与第三名阿富汗积5分，与小组垫底的科威特有1分的微弱优势。伊戈尔·斯蒂马克(Igor Stimac)的球队不得不在周四主场与科威特的比赛中以0比0战平，使他们在七场正式比赛中没有获胜。
印度历史上的出场纪录保持者和得分王苏尼尔·切特里(Sunil Chhetri)在僵局中最后一次代表印度出场，他决定结束自己19年的国家队生涯。当切特里(Chhetri)走向日落时，印度现在将寻求一场胜利，以确保他们进入第三阶段，除非净胜球出现重大变化。如果该组的其他比赛全部结束，平局也足够了，而失败则会导致淘汰。
卡塔尔前锋优素福·阿布杜里萨格将停赛一场，他在预选赛中吃了两张黄牌。主教练马尔克斯可能会尝试更新他的阵容，阿卜杜拉·阿赫拉克、迈贾巴和穆罕默德·哈立德·古达在周四的抽签中作为替补出场后，都在争取首发位置。
至于客队，在印度的护身符在周四与科威特的比赛中告别国际舞台后，他们再也不能召唤切特里了。孟买城的维克拉姆·帕特普将在因停赛而错过与科威特的平局后入选国家队。
卡塔尔队在目前的国际比赛窗口中可能有一支相对缺乏经验的球队，但他们仍然拥有在周二与印度的比赛中获得三分所需的实力。我预测卡塔尔将以1比0获胜。
