TEAMS PREVIEW

Pakistan Preview

Pakistan head into their final game of the campaign after a long break, having not played since November, which could leave them a bit rusty. 

Their last outing was a heavy 5-0 defeat to Syria, though that remains the only game where they were completely outplayed in the competition. 

Still, they sit bottom of the table with two draws—both against Afghanistan—and three losses. Defensively, they conceded nine goals, while their lone strike in the campaign came through Etzaz Hussain.

 Meanwhile, the upcoming fixture against Myanmar will take place behind closed doors. 

Pakistan Probable Starting Lineup - Saqib Hanif (GK);  Mohammad Fazal, Abdullah Iqbal, Mamoon Musa, Haseeb Khan, Alamgir Ghazi, Rahis Nabi, Ali Uzair, Shayak Dost, Otis Khan, Fareed Ullah. 

Myanmar Preview

Unlike Pakistan, Myanmar come into this game with some game time, on the back of a strong performance, having recently beaten Afghanistan 2-1. 

They showed resilience in that match, coming from behind with goals from Than Paing and Kyaw Zin Hein to secure the win.

It was their third victory of the qualifiers, with their only defeats coming against Syria. 

While they’ve conceded 10 goals—eight of them against Syria—they’ve managed six goals in attack, half of which have come from Than Paing. Notably, he also scored the winner the last time Myanmar faced Pakistan.

Myanmar Probable Starting Lineup - Sann Satt Naing (GK); Hein Phyo Win, Soe Moe Kyaw, Thiha Htet Aung, Nanda Kyaw, Kyaw Min Oo, Hein Htet Aung, Lwin Moe Aung, Suan Lam Mang, Maung Maung Lwin, Than Paing. 

PAKISTAN vs MYANMAR
Winning Prediction

Myanmar will have the advantage of being the highest ranked team among the two and they carry better momentum, having played a match not long ago. Taking all factors into account, the Asian Lions appear the stronger side and are favourites to come away with the win. Though, the last match being close will give Pakistan some hope. 

Mynmar to win (1-0)
