Bangladesh vs Nepal Preview

The following fixture, which was scheduled to be held in Nepal, had to be cancelled due to rising political tensions in the country. While Bangladesh have zero hopes of qualifying after playing out a 1-1 draw against Hong Kong in their last game, Nepal were long ousted from being in contention of qualifying after losing all of their first four games. Bangladesh has managed to draw two games and lost two, while Nepal is yet to open its points tally. The Bangladesh national football team have scored five but have conceded 7 in the meantime, which speaks volumes about their misfiring defense. The less we talk about Nepal's backline, the better.

They have conceded 8 goals while managing to score just 2. This match will serve as a perfect warm-up for both teams, and they will try to reclaim their lost pride by putting in a dominant performance. Bangladesh have just one win out of their last five games, while Nepal have not won any of their previous five encounters. It's an ideal setup for both managers to try out their combinations before the AFC Asian Qualifiers start. Nepal are ahead with just one more win than their neighbours and will look to keep their record intact. Ahead of the exciting clash between the two Asian teams, let's take a look at the Bangladesh vs Nepal prediction, the Bangladesh vs Nepal preview, and much more!
