Lebanon has become a very strong team. That whole region along with Syria, Jordan, Palestine are performing above what their Rankings show. Influx of their Foreign based players I think. These countries are beyond India now. Draw at home is best we can think of.
but it is still impressive that we managed to fix friendlies against Lebanon and Palestine..if these countries don't send their foreign based players we stand a chance at home
Lebanon and Palestine also must be having their own priorities - like trying out new players or boosting their FIFA rankings. Thats why they agreed to play against India.
Às long as we play with quality teams on FIFA matchdays, I don't mind losing except qualifiers. Lebanon is indeed a good opponent. My dream is in FIFA friendly we get top 100 opponents. In qualifiers we get bottom 100 teams.

We lost 2-4 against Palestine. Under Koevarmans, we were losing every match. Both India and Palestine have improved a lot since that time.
A draw wouldn't be a bad result for us.
