Team Analysis
Tajikistan's national football team has shown a mixed performance in recent matches. They have struggled to secure wins, particularly evident in their last participation in the King's Cup of Thailand, where they lost both matches against Syria and the Philippines. With a UEFA ranking of 105, Tajikistan is positioned as a mid-level team in Asian football. Key players like Rustam Yatimov and Zoir Dzhuraboev are central to their aspirations, but consistent victories have eluded them.

Nepal, ranked 176 in UEFA, has faced a challenging period as well, with no victories in their last eight matches. Their last win dates back to October 2023 against Laos. Under the management of Italian coach Vincenzo Annese, the team has not displayed significant improvement, and they lack standout talent in their squad. Players such as Ananta Tamang and Anjan Bista are among the more valuable members, but their overall performance has not been sufficient to turn results in their favor.

Head-to-Head
In their previous encounters, Tajikistan holds a favorable record against Nepal. The teams have met three times, with Tajikistan winning two matches and Nepal securing one victory. The last match saw Tajikistan decisively winning 3-0 on home soil, highlighting their dominance in this matchup. This historical context adds pressure on Nepal as they seek to improve their record against a team that has consistently outperformed them.

Prediction
Considering the current form and historical performance, Tajikistan is expected to win this friendly match convincingly. The prediction leans towards a scoreline of 3-0 in favor of Tajikistan. Key statistics suggest that Tajikistan is likely to score more than two goals, given their previous scoring against Nepal. Therefore, the recommended prediction is for Tajikistan to win with a handicap of -2.5, reflecting their capability to outperform Nepal based on the current statistics and past encounters.

Pick: Tajikistan -2.5
