Sri Lanka will take on Turkmenistan today in a crucial Group D fixture of the Asian Cup qualification stage. The match is scheduled to kick off at 3:45 PM at the Turf Grounds, Reid Avenue in Colombo.
So far, Sri Lanka have played two matches in Group D — securing a 3-1 victory over Chinese Taipei, but suffering a defeat against Thailand. As a result, today’s match against Turkmenistan is of immense importance for the Lions as they look to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Historically, Sri Lanka have faced Turkmenistan six times in international football, with Turkmenistan holding a clear advantage, having won five of those encounters.
With home advantage and a determined squad, Sri Lanka will aim to turn the tide and claim a vital win in front of their local supporters this evening.
