Our Prediction for Jordan vs Kuwait
"Nashama" (Jordan) only began playing football at the international level in the 1980s, and they have not yet been a serious contender for World Cup qualification. They first participated in the Asian Cup in 2004. In contrast, the "Blues" (Kuwait) made their only World Cup appearance in 1982 and were disqualified from the tournament prior to the penultimate one.
At the Asian Cup earlier this year, Jordan was a surprise package, not only advancing from the group stage (with four points from three matches) but also knocking out Iraq, Tajikistan, and even South Korea in the semifinals. Only Qatar managed to defeat them in the final, winning 3-1. Kuwait, on the other hand, did not qualify for the tournament.
However, Kuwait did manage to qualify for the final round of World Cup qualification, albeit with difficulty. They lost both matches to Qatar and failed to beat India, only securing their place in the final round by winning their last match against Afghanistan. Jordan, meanwhile, has continued their strong form after the Asian Cup, winning four matches, including a victory over Saudi Arabia, to finish first in their group.
