Asian Cup 2019: India vs. Bahrain- 5 Bahraini stars to watch out for

#3 Sayed Shubbar Alawi

Sayed Shubbar Alawi was only beaten once against UAE and it was from a well-taken penalty by Ahmed Khalil

Sayed Shubbar Alawi is Bahrain's goalkeeper whom India needs to clear if they want to score a goal. Against UAE, India found it tough to breach the last line of defence as Khalid Eisa produced two point-blank saves to deny them the lead.

And, Sayed Shubbar Alawi will not make the lives of Udanta Singh, Sunil Chhetri, Ashique Kuruniyan, and Jeje Lalpekhlua any easier. Against UAE, the Al-Najma SC player produced top-notch saves to deny Ismael Al Hammadi and Saif Rashid from scoring and the Indian forward line will have to come up with better finishing if they want to put the ball past him.

Sayed Shubbar Alawi is also known for his brilliant positioning and vision to find the right players in initiating counter attacks. The 33-year-old veteran has made only 15 appearances for his country but, his maturity outweighs his inexperience.
