Maldives vs Pakistan prediction
Under the management of Istvan Urbanyi, the Maldives are trying to push themselves up from their ranking of 172nd in the world, according to FIFA. The Sea, as they are nicknamed, most recently succumbed to a 1-0 loss to Afghanistan the other day.
At the start of the Diamond Jubilee Football Tournament, alongside the Afghans and Bangladesh Olympic side, Pakistan shared a goalless draw with the Bangladeshi’s, extending their winless run of form to 12 matches.
Pakistan haven’t won since October 2023 but the Maldives aren’t too much better and a low-scoring encounter seems inevitable for this one in Male.
Maldives vs Pakistan tip: Under 2.5 goals
