Kuwait vs Jordan Prediction & Betting Tips (19 November)

Present at the 1982 World Cup, Kuwait is in a poor position to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. In the previous round, the selection already struggled to get ahead of Afghanistan and India in order to reach this phase. Still waiting for a victory, 3 draws and 2 defeats, Juan Antonio Pizzi's protégés are currently 5th in group B and are 3 units out of 4th place, qualifying for a play-off. Last Friday, they logically lost at home, against the leader, South Korea 1-3.
