Match notes

by Ade Ola & the 9jaTips desk

The big picture

India go in as clear favourites (74%) and anything but a home win would be a surprise. In the Asia SAFF Championship table, India sit 1st (6 pts) and Maldives 3rd (0 pts).

Form check

Recent run for India: L L D D L L – zero wins in six. Last time out they lost to Uruguay 1–6 at home. The worry is at the other end – only 0.7 goals per game. No clean sheet in any of those games.

Maldives have won one of their last six (L L L D L W). Last time out they lost to Lebanon 0–6 at home. Goals have dried up, though: 0.5 a game. No clean sheet in any of those games.

Goals outlook

We expect around 3.7 goals (India 2.8, Maldives 0.9). Over 2.5 rates at 70% and GG at 53% – goals are the likely story.

Our call (settled)

Our pre-match tip was Over 2.5 goals – 70% in our model, around 1.33 with the bookmakers. Most likely score: India 2–1 Maldives. Bets settle on the 90-minute score. 18+ – stake only what you can afford.
