This yielded a total of 7 goals, averaging 0.7 goals per match, which reflects a struggle to find the back of the net consistently. Defensively, they have conceded an average of 2.4 goals per game, indicating vulnerabilities that they will need to address going into this friendly.

On the other hand, the Maldives women's team comes into this match with a slightly better record over their last ten outings, achieving 3 wins, 6 losses, and 1 draw. They have scored a total of 8 goals, averaging 0.8 goals per match, but similarly faced defensive issues, conceding an average of 1.7 goals per game. Their away form has been particularly challenging, as they have not secured a win in their last six away friendly matches.

In terms of scoring, Maldives has a slight edge with 8 goals compared to Bangladesh's 7. Their last encounter, held on October 17, 2023, ended with a narrow victory for Maldives at 2-1, which adds an interesting dynamic to their upcoming clash.

Prediction
Given the current form of both teams and their head-to-head history, this friendly is likely to be competitive. However, considering the defensive struggles of both sides, a high-scoring game seems probable. The prediction leans towards over 2.5 total goals, reflecting their tendencies in recent games. A close match could see either team edging it, but Bangladesh may have the slight advantage playing at home. Overall, a scoreline of 2-1 in favor of Bangladesh looks feasible, considering their motivation to perform on home soil.

Pick: Over 2.5 goals
