India will take on Thailand in a must-win match of the U-17 women's football tournament at the Mumbai Football Arena here on Tuesday.

In the third and final league-stage match, the hosts will need a victory to seal a place in the final against Sweden which is slated for December 19.

India coach Thomas Dennerby said that the team is looking forward to the challenge and the girls have a "good chance" of earning the win.

"The mood in the camp is good. It is a new situation tomorrow -- we need to win if we want to play the final. We're looking forward to the challenge. Thailand have good players but we have a good chance too," he said.

Dennerby, who was appointed as the Head coach in November talked about how the experience will also be helpful for the players to learn how to handle pressure.

"Pressure is part of the game. It is good for the players to learn how to handle stress. This is a friendly tournament but by the time the World Cup arrives, there will be a lot more pressure and it's good the girls will get to learn."
