Bangladesh have 1 point from 2 matches; must win to stay alive
Hong Kong are unbeaten, have 4 points, and no goals conceded so far
In another Group C match today, India take on Singapore
The AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers third-round matchday 3 sees Bangladesh host Hong Kong at the National Stadium in Dhaka, and Singapore welcome India in a parallel Group C fixture at the Singapore National Stadium. Watch the Bangladesh vs Hong Kong football match live today.
Bangladesh enter the tie with one point from two matches, having drawn 0-0 with India and lost 1-2 to Singapore. Hong Kong, meanwhile, are second in the group with four points, following a 0-0 draw against Singapore and a 1-0 win over India, sealed by a stoppage-time penalty from Brazil-born Stefan Pereira.
Notably, Ashley Westwood's Hong Kong have yet to concede a goal in the qualifiers. Javier Cabrera's Bengal Tigers are eyeing a second AFC Asian Cup qualification after their 10th-place finish in 1980, while Hong Kong made the tournament finals in the 2023 edition.
In the other Group C fixture today, Singapore face India in Kallang. Singapore lead the group on goal difference, also with four points, having drawn with Hong Kong and beaten Bangladesh 2-1.
India, under new coach Khalid Jamil, sit at the bottom with one point and no goals scored. But they would be buoyed by the return of former captain and India's all-time leading goal scorer Sunil Chhetri. He was left out of India's historic outing at the CAFA Nations Cup 2025. The 1964 runners-up are aiming to qualify for a third consecutive Asian Cup.
Both Bangladesh vs Hong Kong and Singapore vs India matches carry significant weight as only the group winners will advance to the final tournament in Saudi Arabia.
Bangladesh vs Hong Kong Head-To-Head Record
This marks the fifth meeting between the two teams. Hong Kong lead the head-to-head record 3-0 with one draw. In their most recent meeting, during the qualifiers for the AFC Asian Cup 2007, Bangladesh lost 2-0 in Kowloon, with Hong Kong also winning the reverse fixture in Dhaka, 1-0.
