With one foot in the Qualifiers, Nepal’s Three Star Club are taking on Nagaworld FC of Cambodia in their last Group ‘B’ match of the AFC Cup Qualifying Playoffs in Ulaan Bataar on Tuesday.

A victory at the Mongolia Football Federation grounds will hand Three Star a spot

in the Qualifiers for the

2017 AFC Cup. Three Star opened their tournament campaign on a high, sweeping aside local outfits Erchim

FC 2-0. Although Nagaworld are taken as relatively weaker opponents in the pool, captain Vikram Lama was not in

the mood to take Nagaworld lightly.

“Whoever we play against, we cannot take the opponents lightly. Our boys are highly spirited following the victory against Erchim and we believe we can return with another better result in the tournament,” said Lama on the eve of the match.

Coach Meghraj KC wanted his boys to settle in the game before to take control of the game. “Nagaworld is an unknown opponent for us. We will observe them in the first 15 minutes because this will help us find their weakness and strength,” said KC.

Nagaworld had finished their last season in the Cambodian League as a fourth-placed team but their coach Meas Channa was confident in giving a decent display. “We have prepared well for this tournament and my team will give a good performance,” said Channa.

Skipper Sok Rithy said his team has to battle the cold weather first before seeing off the challenge from Three Star. “Mongolia is colder than Cambodia but we will be focused in giving strong show,” said Rithy.
