Dhaka, November 11: Bangladesh takes on Tajikistan in the Fifa World Cup Qualifiers at Dushanbe on Thursday. The match starts at 4:00 pm BST

It will be the away match for Bangladesh and in last June Bangladesh held Tajikistan 1-1 in the home match at Dhaka.

Fabio Lopez, the head coach of Bangladesh looked forward positively. “We came here to win the match. We do respect our opponent, it will be a tough match for both of us, we don’t think about the past match, we believe to do good  and look forward positively, our team is motivated to give their best” said the Italian.

Lopez thought his team has adjusted with the conditions. “We came here earlier to adjust with the conditions, it is quite cold but the stadium pitch condition is good. The team that  plays better  will  have the result in their favour. Hope  my team will put their highest level of effort for winning the match”.

Mubin Ergasher, the head Coach of Tajikistan however pledged to fight in every step. “We want to do a positive result, Our result is not good in the world cup qualifiers,, we did not get any win yet, we have included some new young player from U-23 team to win. We respect Bangladesh and we remember we drew our away match, they have some good skilled player, they have also a new good head coach from Italy. We do not feel any pressure to play in our home ground under 20,000 supporters, we will get more speed in front of our supporters in the stadium” said Mubin.
