Malaysia vs Cape Verde Prediction and Betting Tips | June 3, 2025 

Malaysia and Cape Verde meet for the second time in a week in a friendly at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday.

On May 29, the two sides played out a 1-1 draw in the same city. Sidny Cabral put the Blue Sharks in front after eight minutes, but the Malay Tigers pegged them back in the 79th minute through Paulo Josue.

It was only their second game of the 2025 calendar year, with Malaysia seeing off Nepal 2-0 in March in their 2027 Asian Cup third round qualification. That remains their only victory in four competitive games.

Malaysia will look to make amends for a prosaic display last week and turn on their A-game as the Asian Cup qualifiers follow in the next week.

Meanwhile, Cape Verde extended their unbeaten run for the year to three games and have two more friendlies in June before starting their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in September.
