❌ Kuwait (FIFA ranking 136 / Last 5 matches: L-L-D-W-D)
Kuwait registered a dramatic draw against Jordan with a score of 1-1, earning a point through a penalty kick. Al Harbi (FW) and Naser (FW) lead the counter-attacks; however, they lack the cutting edge in attack. Especially against Iraq's solid defense, they are unlikely to pose a significant threat. In the defensive line, a compact defense centered around Al Haeiri (DC), Hajiya (DC), and Al Enezi (DC) appears stable. Additionally, midfielders Al Defiri (CM) and Hani (DM) diligently contribute to defense, greatly reducing the chances of heavy scoring against them.
- Injury issues: None
❌ Iraq (FIFA ranking 55 / Last 5 matches: W-W-W-W-W)
Iraq recently achieved a narrow victory of 1-0 against Oman, marking their fifth consecutive win. Their main strategy relies on build-up play featuring Ameen (LW), Jasim (AMC), and Hussein (FW), although their limited attacking routes make it difficult to score multiple goals. However, their defensive line, anchored by Sulaka (DC) and Tahseen (DC), is robust, and the support from Al-Amari (DM) has proven effective. They are expected to sufficiently thwart Kuwait's monotonous attacking style.
- Injury issues: None
❌ Result Prediction
Iraq is likely to take control of the match. Kuwait's attack is weak, making it difficult to penetrate Iraq's defense. Although Iraq also has limited attacking routes, the difference in physicality in the forward line is expected to lead to a low-scoring game. A victory for Iraq and an under (2.5) are recommended.
❌ Betting Summary and Recommendations
Win-Draw-Loss: Iraq win
Handicap (+1.0): Iraq win
Under-Over (2.5): Under
