Maldives vs Pakistan Preview & Tips
The Maldives were beaten 1-0 by Afghanistan in their last match as they failed to build on a 2-1 win over Timor-Leste in the game before.
Pakistan were held by Bangladesh Under-23's in their last match as the pair played out a goalless draw at the start of June.
- The Maldives have never lost to Pakistan (W3, D2)
Head To Head
The Maldives have won three of their five previous matches against Pakistan including their last two. The other two games have ended in draws.
Maldives Form
The Maldives have struggled for any real consistency since 2025, with only two of their 11 outings ending in victories.
Alongside wins over Sri Lanka (3-0) and Timor-Leste (2-1), the Maldives have lost to India, Philippines twice, Singapore, Timor-Leste, Tajikistan twice and Afghanistan. Their last game at the start of June saw them beaten 1-0 by Afghanistan, with the side now without a clean sheet across their last six outings.
The major positive for the Maldives heading into this one is that they are yet to lose to their opponents. The pair have partaken in five meetings with the Maldives winning three times and two games ending as draws. With Pakistan in woeful form, this is likely the perfect time for the Maldives to get back to winning ways.
Pakistan Form
Pakistan have found avoiding defeat tough over the last few years, although a lack of game time has seen the nation play just 11 times since the start of 2024.
In this time, they have lost eight times with draws coming against Afghanistan twice and Bangladesh Under-23's. Goals have been tough to come by while clean sheets have also evaded them in this time.
While this is a friendly, both sides will be desperate to end their winless runs. The pair are in woeful form heading into this one, and I predict that Pakistan's awful run against their opponents will prove the difference as their winless streak against the Maldives will go on.
Verdict
I am backing the Maldives to make it three consecutive wins against Pakistan as the awful form of the latter goes on.
