Kathmandu, October 9 Nepal will take on Tajikistan in their away match of the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers at the Hisor Central Stadium on Tuesday. Nepal, who are in Group F along with Tajikistan, Philippines and Yemen, are in a must-win situation in their bid to finish top two in the group and earn berth for next year’s finals to be held in the United Arab Emirates. Nepal have already played three matches in their group and are at the bottom with a point that they earned after playing a goalless draw against Yemen at home.
