Right-back Bishwanath Gosh, however, said how the Bangladesh defence performs will decide the outcome of the match.

Head coach Jamie Day is likely to play the same defenders who started the first leg and Gosh said Bangladesh must be resolute at the back.

“We have to be more focused than we were in Laos because the visiting side will come all-out after losing their home match. If the defenders do really well and don’t concede any goal, then we have a good opportunity to progress,” said Gosh to local media.

Laos, however, look equally confident despite trailing by a goal.

Head coach V Sundram Moorthy's charges were in high spirits during training and the Singaporean said they are determined to overturn the deficit and advance.

“The 90-minute match is now important for us and we believe it is possible to overturn the result. We are confident and will go all out to win the game,” Sundram said.

“In the first match, we had a few chances but we could not capitalise and that’s the reason we’re 1-0 down. Hopefully we will make use of our chances in Bangladesh’s home match.”
