Palestine vs Kuwait Prediction & Betting Tips (15 October)

Last in this group of the 3rd round, Palestine only has 1 point but they were able to take it from South Korea during the 1st day 0-0 . It's been more difficult since then with a subsequent defeat at home against Jordan 1-3 and a small setback conceded on Thursday in Iraq. This makes 5 matches without a victory for the Palestinians who were able to finish 2nd in their group in the 2nd round, logically behind Australia but ahead of Lebanon and Bangladesh. Like Palestine, Kuwait has still not won in this 3rd round but he ranks ahead with 2 points.

If Kuwait had managed to hold two draws in September - against Iraq at home 11 against 10 0-0 and against Jordan on the road 1-1 - they took a loss on Thursday. Traveling to Oman, Kuwait lost 4-0 . During the 2nd qualifying round, we had to wait until the 6th day to qualify following a 1-0 victory against Afghanistan at home which allowed the Kuwaiti selection to take 2nd place, far behind Qatar, but ahead of India and Afghanistan. 

Palestine is deprived of senior defender Saleh (33 sels), injured, and striker Batran (6 goals in 33 sels), in this gathering. Absent from the scoresheet against Iraq, scorer Seyam (13 goals in 64 games) is uncertain. Author of 3 goals in the 2nd round, Charleroi striker Dabbagh (still silent in the championship) will indeed be on the trip to Palestine. Captain Al-Battat (defender, 65 sel) is also there.

While those from Palestine often have to export due to the situation in their country, players from Kuwait play in the national championship. Leading figures like striker Yousef Nasser (50 goals in 110 caps) or midfielder Zayid (7 goals in 63 caps) did not play the first match, unlike Al-Dhefiri (5 goals in 61 capes). To mention the absences from this gathering, let us mention midfielder Ali Khalaf (16 caps), defender Hamad Al-Qallaf (26 caps) and goalkeeper Kameel (9 caps) all present during the September gathering.
