Ispe FC vs Mahar UnitedPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Round two of the National League brings together two sides who opened the season in the same way, with an away defeat. I.S.P.E lost 1-2 at Ayeyawady United, while Sagaing United went down 0-2 at Yangon United. Neither has played in front of its own supporters yet, so the picture has to be built mainly on earlier outings and on the head-to-head record. Looking further back, I.S.P.E closed the previous stretch of the season with three wins in five matches, all of them 2-1: away at Rakhine United, at home to Dagon Port and away at Yarmanya United. In between came a 1-2 defeat at Thitsar Arman and a heavy 1-6 home loss to Shan United. Sagaing United, over the same span, have a thinner record: a single win, 2-1 over Ayeyawady United, a goalless draw away at Hantharwady United and three defeats, two of them without scoring. The direct meetings split clearly by venue. On I.S.P.E's ground the hosts have won twice, 1-0 in October 2025 and 3-0 in June 2023, with a single away success, 0-1 in July 2024. On the other pitch Sagaing United have won twice, 4-1 in January 2026 and 2-1 in January 2025, with a 0-0 in October 2023 completing the set. The division average is 3.00 goals per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
