Nepal vs Bangladesh: Predictions Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 9, 2025

An international friendly is set for Tuesday at the Dasharath Rangasala Stadium in Kathmandu, where Nepal will face Bangladesh. Betting on goals could be a wise choice in this matchup.

Match preview

Nepal has been struggling with results and offensive play. They haven’t won in four matches and have not scored in three of those games. Their recent goalless draw with Bangladesh (0-0) showed their lack of attacking options. Despite home support, the “Gorkhalis” need improvement in their goal-scoring abilities and look to make tactical changes.

However, Nepal has room for improvement. The team is well-organized defensively and usually avoids heavy defeats. The return of key players could enhance their performance, but this remains a hopeful prospect for now. Fans can expect a careful approach focused on reliability in the upcoming match.

Bangladesh enters this match with a more positive outlook in 2025. They have lost just once in six games, which was a 1-2 defeat to Singapore in qualifying. They have also managed clean sheets in three straight matches. Their solid defense and discipline are their main strengths, particularly when their offense struggles, as seen in their recent goalless draw with Nepal.

Nonetheless, Bangladesh has its challenges; they often find it difficult to convert chances, and depth in the squad is a concern. The coaching staff might give some reserves a chance to play, affecting team cohesion and potentially the match outcome, particularly in an away setting.

Probable lineups

• Nepal: Chetjong, Lama, Tamang, Chand, Basnet, Cherestha, Dangi, Limbu, Khawas, Gillespie, Bista
• Bangladesh: Hasan Srabon M., Barman T., Bhuyan J. (c), Hossain R., Kazi T., Mia R., Reza S., Ridoy M., Uddin S., Ibrahim M., Rana Sh.

Match facts and head-to-head

• The teams have faced each other 25 times: Bangladesh has 13 wins, while Nepal has 8.
• Bangladesh’s last win was in 2020, a 2-0 friendly match.
• Three of the last five encounters have ended in draws, including Saturday’s 0-0 tie.

Prediction

This match is a rematch only four days after their last game and serves as a final test for both teams before returning to the Asian Cup qualifiers. Expect another cautious game from both sides. Both teams stay focused on defense and are not associated with high-scoring matches. We suggest betting on “Total under 2.0” at odds of 1.80.
