#AWCL | Group B: Bam Khatoon FC (IRN) 1-3 East Bengal FC (IND)
His opposite number Chang Weiwei will be hopeful that key players Yao Wei, Wu Haiyan and Wang Shuang will be available after all three were not part of the Matchday 1 squad.
The 1-1 stalemate with Nasaf on Monday, achieved without those big names, however, will give Chang belief that his team can compete no matter who starts.
The situation mirrors Wuhan Jiangda’s group stage last season where they made a stuttering start but recovered to progress and Chang will want his team to believe a repeat is achievable.

With a tough final day encounter to come against East Bengal, Nasaf will need maximum points against Bam Khatoon if they are to advance to the quarter-finals.
Facing a tougher task will be Marziyeh Jafari who will have to pick her Bam Khatoon players up after their unexpected defeat on Monday.
The experienced head coach will be demanding her team to be more clinical in front of goal after they spurned several good chances against East Bengal, with another defeat potentially ending their campaign early.
