AFC Asian Qualifiers
Palestine started their campaign on a promising note with a 0-0 draw against Korea Republic, but back-to-back defeats – 3-1 to Jordan and a hard-fought 1-0 loss to Iraq – have left them at the bottom of the table.
Head coach Makram Daboub will be expecting Palestine to rediscover the fine form displayed in the AFC Asian Cup™ Qatar 2023 where they advanced to the knockout stage for the first time.
Kuwait are in a similar position, sitting just a point above Palestine. They started their campaign with consecutive draws against Jordan (1-1) and Iraq (0-0) before being comprehensively beaten 4-0 by Oman.
Juan Antonio Pizzi’s side are looking to end their four-decade wait for a second FIFA World Cup appearance, having last featured in 1982.
However, the Argentinian tactician will need to address the defensive woes that were seen in the defeat to Oman, as Kuwait can’t afford to drop points on Tuesday.
