Malaysia will 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 aiming to take another step towards securing their place at the Saudi Arabia showpiece with another win, having maintained a 100% record so far.
After defeating Nepal 2-0 on matchday one, the Southeast Asian side crushed Vietnam 4-0, before overcoming Laos in a pair of 3-0 and 5-1 victories. With all 12 points in the bag, Peter Cklamovski’s team currently leads Group F, three points 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 their second consecutive qualification.
By contrast, Nepal have lost every qualifying fixture to date and sit rock-bottom of the group standings without a single point. They have scored only twice—once each against Laos and Vietnam—while conceding eight goals, leaving their dreams of playing in their first Asian Cup hanging by a thread.
Last week, the Gorkhalis faced Bangladesh in a friendly, where they managed a stoppage-time equalizer to secure a 2-2 draw. Rohit Chand scored to give Nepal the lead after 29 minutes. However, Hamza Choudhury responded with two goals for Bangladesh in the second half. Just when it looked like Nepal would suffer another loss, Ananta Tamang broke the home side’s resistance in the third minute of added time to level the score.
### Nepal vs Malaysia Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
There have been eight clashes between the two teams in the past, with Malaysia remaining unbeaten in all of them and winning seven times. The Malay Tigers have won their last six games against Nepal, including a 2-0 victory this March during the current Asian Cup qualifiers.
Meanwhile, Nepal are winless in their last seven consecutive matches, whereas Malaysia have been in excellent form, winning their last five games.
### Nepal vs Malaysia Prediction
The Malay Tigers boast an impressive record against Nepal, having won every game except one. Given their dominant performance in the qualifiers so far, there’s little reason to doubt that Malaysia will secure another victory against the Gorkhalis.
