International Friendly: Tajikistan vs India 09/06/2026
Tajikistan are treating these friendlies seriously under new coach Angelovski and are using a strong lineup, while India have brought an inexperienced squad missing most of their regular starters. After already beating India 3-1 last week and given the clear gap between the teams, the home side looks like a solid value pick at the available odds.

Tajikistan (#103 in the FIFA rankings) are taking this set of friendly matches very seriously. They have a new head coach, North Macedonian Angelovski, and are fielding their strongest lineup, with players eager to impress their new manager.
India (#136 in the FIFA rankings) arrive with an alternative squad, including many young players while almost all of their regular starters are absent. With this lineup, they have already suffered three friendly defeats. Last Thursday, they lost 3-1 to Tajikistan in a relatively comfortable victory for the hosts, while they had previously been beaten 1-0 by Zimbabwe and 2-0 by Jamaica, a side that also left many of its best players out of the squad.
With these respective squads and playing at home, Tajikistan are the clear favorites. They showed obvious superiority in the recent friendly between the two teams, and their victory is available at odds around 1.80, making it a worthwhile betting option.
