How is Bahrain coming into this match?
On the other hand, the Bahrain national soccer team has not had the same bad start as its rival Nepal. The Bahrainis have already been active in this new year and did so in the Asian Cup, however, their participation was very brief since they were eliminated in the round of 16 by Japan by a score of 1-3.
Bahrain has already turned the page and is now focused on securing its ticket to the 2026 World Cup. In Group H, the Bahraini team is currently in second place in the section with 3 points after a 2-0 win (against Yemen) and a loss by the same score (against UAE).
How is Nepal coming into this match?
Nepal's national team will play its first match of 2024 and the streak of zero goals in its last two matches will worry the Nepalese who want to go to their first World Cup. After passing the play-offs and defeating Laos 2-1 on aggregate, Nepal qualified for the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup in group H. This Asian team has started off on the wrong foot in its qualifying matches, having accumulated two defeats in two games played; one against UAE, where they lost 4-0, and another defeat against Yemen, where the Nepalese suffered their second loss by a score of 2-0. They are currently in last place in the sector with 0 points.
AFC Qualifiers
There is a break for activity in this FIFA date where, in addition to attractive friendlies, we will have activity in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The Asian conference has already started its qualifiers and, today, we will have a match between two teams that have never played in a World Cup, so they want the victory that will bring them closer to the ticket that will take them to the 2026 World Cup. Nepal and Bahrain will face each other on match day 2, where they need 3 points to avoid falling behind in group H. Will Nepal be able to win or will Bahrain win?
The match will be played at the National Bahrain stadium
The match between Nepal vs. Bahrain will be played at the National Stadium of Bahrain, in the city of Riffa, Bahrain. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00 pm (ET).
