After the defeat on penalties to Iraq, the Indian senior men's team is set to face Lebanon in the 49th King's Cup third-place play-off on Sunday. The contest, which will be the Blue Tigers' fourth in three months against the West Asians, will kick off at the 700th Anniversary Stadium in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

India did not concede a goal in the three meetings against Lebanon. A 0-0 draw in the Intercontinental Cup was followed by a clinical 2-0 win in the final in Bhubaneswar.

The two sides met again in the SAFF Championship semi-finals, where Igor Stimac's side came out on top on penalties after 120 goalless minutes.

In the pre-match press conference, Stimac admitted that both teams know each other in and out, and another exciting encounter will be on the cards on Sunday.

“It's now a regular competition between India and Lebanon. The fourth match in three months. We know each other very well. There is no secret,” Stimac said.

“So for us coaches, it's a much easier job. No need to analyse the opponents too much. So it's just about concentrating and focusing on our own game, our players, and how to be effective on the pitch in 90 minutes," India's coach said.
