Nepal vs Malaysia Prediction and Betting Tips | 18th November 2025

Malaysia play host to Nepal at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers. The Malay Tigers are looking to take another step towards securing a place at the Saudi Arabia showpiece with another win, having kept a 100% record so far.

After defeating Nepal 2-0 on matchday one, the Southeast Asian side crushed Vietnam 4-0, before seeing off Laos in a pair of 3-0 and 5-1 wins.

With all 12 points in the bag, Peter Cklamovski's side are currently leading the race for qualification in Group F, three clear of second-placed Vietnam.

A win on Tuesday would confirm Malaysia's place at the Asian Cup, marking just their fifth appearance in the competition and a second in a row.

By contrast, Nepal have lost every qualifying fixture to sit rock-bottom of the group standings without a single point in the bag.

They've struck only twice - once each against Laos and Vietnam - while conceding eight times as their dreams of playing in their first Asian Cup lived on.

Last week, the Gorkhalis engaged Bangladesh in a friendly, which saw them score a stoppage-time equalizer to force a 2-2 draw.

Rohit Chand had fired them in front after 29 minutes before Hamza Choudhury scored two goals within a few minutes in the second half.

Nepal seemed to be headed for another loss, but in the third added minute, Ananta Tamang broke the home side's resistance to make it 2-2.

Nepal vs Malaysia Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

• There have been eight clashes between the sides in the past, with Malaysia going unbeaten in all of them and winning seven times.
• The Malay Tigers have won their last six matches against Nepal, including a 2-0 victory in March this year in the ongoing Asian Cup qualifiers.
• The Gorkhalis are winless in their last seven consecutive games, while Malaysia have won their last five matches.

Nepal vs Malaysia Prediction

The Malay Tigers boast an incredible record in the fixture, having won every game against Nepal bar one. Now, having steamrolled their way through the qualifiers, there's no reason to believe that Malaysia can't beat the Gorkhalis again.

Prediction: Nepal 0-2 Malaysia
