Guess
Given the lack of quality in both camps, this could be another difficult case. However, Nepal have played more matches this year than Laos and have also achieved slightly better results. Million Elephants will rely on home comforts to prevail, but we're taking a big gamble here, backing Nepal to win, albeit narrowly.

AFC World Cup Qualifiers
The AFC World Cup Qualifiers have an illustrious history, dating back to their beginnings in the early years of the tournament. Over time, the qualification process has undergone refinements to accommodate the growing number of participating teams and ensure a fair competition. Throughout its history, Asia has witnessed the emergence of soccer powerhouses such as Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia, who have consistently demonstrated their dominance during the qualifying stages. Asian teams have had a significant impact on recent FIFA World Cups, with notable achievements including Korea Republic reaching the semi-finals in 2002. The qualification process has not only provided established nations with a platform to showcase their talent, but has also nurtured emerging nations in soccer, contributing to the development and growth of Asian soccer as a whole. The AFC World Cup Qualifiers continue to captivate fans with their exciting matches, outstanding performances and the ever-present dream of representing Asia on the world stage.
The AFC World Cup Qualifiers follow a challenging format that unfolds over several stages, with teams from all over Asia taking part. The journey begins with the preliminary rounds, followed by the first, second and final rounds. The teams are grouped together and take part in a round-trip format in groups, with the best teams from each group advancing to the next stages. As the competition progresses, the intensity increases, pitting the teams against increasingly challenging opponents. The culmination of this grueling process comes in the final phase, which determines the direct qualifiers for the World Cup. Although some teams can participate in additional playoffs, this format ensures that only five Asian nations secure their place on the global stage to showcase their footballing talent at the World Cup.
Analysis - Laos

Analysis - Nepal
Nepal arrive in the same situation as their rivals. The team also comes into this match off the back of a draw. In a WC Qualification Asia match, V. Annese's team, who played in a 4-2-3-1 formation, faced Laos and the score ended 1-1.
Nepal recorded an average of 3 attempts on goal by their opponents per game played, which can say a lot about the team's attacking skills and their ability to score goals.
Keeping possession is a good way to control the opposition and that's what Nepal do when they play as visitors. The team's average possession rate in such matches is 62%.
A team with low attacking efficiency, their average number of goals scored is no more than 1 per game. With a low score and playing away from home, this could be decisive for a bad result.
