Afghanistan vs Myanmar Prediction and Betting Tips | 18th November 2025

Afghanistan and Myanmar clash in neutral Bangladesh on Tuesday at the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers in what's a dead rubber as both teams are already eliminated. Ranked 162nd in the world, the Afghans have failed to win any of their four qualifying fixtures in Group E and collected a meager two points, coming from a pair of draws against Pakistan last month.

Earlier on in the campaign, the Lions of Khorasan lost 2-1 to Myanmar in their opening game before a 1-0 loss to Syria.

Afghanistan have never played in the Asian Cup before and their dream of reaching a first-ever tournament lives on after another disappointing campaign.

On the other hand, Myanmar were off to a flyer, winning their first two qualifying games to collect six points from a possible six. They appeared as contenders for the qualification, and a two-horse race between them and Syria was on.

But the Qasioun Eagles crushed any momentum by inflicting back-to-back defeats on the Chinthe last month, winning 5-1 as the home side before a 3-0 victory away.

Myanmar's defense was no match for the menacing Syrian frontline, led by the peerless Omar Khribin, who even bagged a hat-trick in their first clash.

Afghanistan vs Myanmar Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

• Afghanistan and Myanmar have clashed just once before, with the Chinthe winning 2-1 in March 2025.
• The Lions of Khorasan are one of the eight winless teams in the Asian Cup qualifiers right now.
• Myanmar have six points in four games, whereas Afghanistan have only two, but the Chinthe have conceded nine goals while the Afghans have shipped in just four.
• The Burmese side are winless in their last three games; Afghanistan have failed to win any of their eight matches in 2025, losing five.
• Afghanistan are ranked 162nd in the world, while Myanmar are right behind them in 163rd place, according to the latest FIFA World Ranking.

Afghanistan vs Myanmar Prediction

Myanmar had beaten Afghanistan in their earlier qualifying fixture, but things are different this time around. Like the Afghans, they too have been eliminated from the race and there's nothing much at stake here besides pride.

The Chinthe may still give them a tough run for their money, but the Lions of Khorasan should be able to hold them to a draw here.

Prediction: Afghanistan 1-1 Myanmar
