Afghanistan and Myanmar will clash in a neutral venue in Bangladesh on Tuesday during the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers. However, the match is a dead rubber as both teams have already been eliminated from the competition.
Ranked 162nd in the world, Afghanistan, also known as the Lions of Khorasan, have struggled throughout the qualifiers. They have failed to win any of their four Group E fixtures, collecting just two points from two draws against Pakistan last month. Earlier in the campaign, Afghanistan lost 2-1 to Myanmar in their opening game, followed by a 1-0 defeat to Syria. Afghanistan have never qualified for the Asian Cup before, and their dream of reaching the tournament remains elusive after another disappointing qualifying campaign.
On the other hand, Myanmar started the qualifiers strongly. The Chinthe won their first two games, gathering six points from a possible six, and looked like serious contenders alongside Syria. However, the Qasioun Eagles dashed Myanmar’s hopes by handing them back-to-back defeats last month. Syria dominated with a 5-1 home win and a 3-0 victory away. Myanmar’s defense struggled against a lethal Syrian attack led by Omar Khribin, who scored a hat-trick in their first meeting.
### Afghanistan vs Myanmar: Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
Afghanistan and Myanmar have faced each other just once before, with Myanmar claiming a 2-1 victory in March 2025. Currently, Afghanistan is one of eight teams without a win in the Asian Cup qualifiers. Myanmar has six points from four games, while Afghanistan has earned only two. Interestingly, Myanmar has conceded nine goals, whereas Afghanistan’s defense has allowed just four.
Form-wise, Myanmar is winless in their last three matches, while Afghanistan has failed to win any of their eight games in 2025, suffering five losses. According to the latest FIFA World Rankings, Afghanistan sits at 162nd place, with Myanmar just behind in 163rd.
### Match Prediction: Afghanistan vs Myanmar
Though Myanmar defeated Afghanistan in their previous qualifier, the stakes are lower this time as both sides are already out of contention. While Myanmar may still pose a challenge, Afghanistan should be able to hold them to a draw and share the spoils.
**Prediction:** Afghanistan 1-1 Myanmar
