Our Prediction for Palestine vs Kuwait
The "Knights" (Palestine) continue to play football admirably despite the challenging circumstances. They performed fairly well in the AFC Asian Cup, where they managed to collect four points in their group and advanced to the playoffs. In the round of 16, they took the lead against Qatar but eventually lost 1-2 to the tournament hosts. The previous round of World Cup qualification had its difficulties, but Palestine managed to qualify for this round. In September, they earned a prestigious 0-0 draw in South Korea but lost 1-3 at home to Jordan.
The "Blue Wave" (Kuwait) did not participate in the most recent AFC Asian Cup, but they managed to reach the final stage of World Cup qualification. They last qualified for the World Cup back in 1982. While they are currently considered underdogs, Kuwait has proven to be a resilient team. In September, they secured draws against Jordan (0-0 away) and Iraq (1-1 at home).
For Palestine, Hussein is injured, and many players either lack a club or have limited playing time. They narrowly lost to Iraq in the third round, conceding a goal in the 31st minute and failing to respond. Kuwait’s coach, Pizzi, did not call up Al-Khaldi, who has scored 18 goals for the national team—only Nasser has more among active players. Kuwait was thoroughly beaten by Oman 0-4 last week.
