India's FIH Pro League campaign got off to a shaky start, losing to Belgium and the United Kingdom in quick succession. The Indian team will be eager to turn their fortunes around in this crucial match. With a new coach, Craig Fulton, at the helm, they will hope Manpreet Singh and Harmanpreet Singh to lead the charge and inspire the team to victory.
Belgium, the reigning Olympic champion, have demonstrated their dominance in recent years and will be formidable opponents in this match. The Belgian team has a strong defensive unit, led by Vincent Vanasch in goal.
Belgium's formidable lineup is bolstered by the attacking prowess of Cedric Charlier and Tom Boon, making them a force to be reckoned with.
