Brief Preview:
India will be looking to get some points and stay alive in the FIFA U-17 World Cup as they face Colombia in their second Group A encounter at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.
India lost their opener against USA 3-0 and will want to bounce back into contention with today's game. India goalkeeper Dheeraj Singh and winger Komal Thattal were the most impressive ones in the first match against USA.
Right-back Boris Singh may return to the starting XI after missing the October 6 game with a suspension owing to his red card in the AFC U-16 Championships last year.
Colombia, on the other hand, also lost their first match 1-0 against Ghana and will want nothing less than a victory here today.
