DomainJava.com – Kuwait vs Qatar prediction in the Gulf Cup match, Kuwait will face Asian champions Qatar on Friday as they fight for a place in the knockout stages of the 26th Arabian Gulf Cup. With four points in two games, the Blue Waves are second to Oman in Group A and need a draw in their final group game to book a place in the top four.
They drew 1-1 with the Reds in their opener before coming from behind to beat UAE 2-1. After being knocked out in the group stage of the last four editions of the Gulf Cup, Kuwait needed a point to break the curse and advance to the next round of the competition.
Meanwhile, Qatar had to admit a heavy defeat, as the 2019 and 2023 Asian Cup champions were winless in both group games: drawing 1-1 with Emirates in their first match before giving up an early lead to lose 2-1 to Oman.
Against Kuwait, only a win will be enough for Luis Garcia’s team while they hope that UAE does not beat Oman in their other matches.
There were 38 matches between the two teams, with Kuwait winning 20 and losing 14.
The Maroons have won their last five games in the competition, including twice in FIFA World Cup qualifying in March this year: 3-0 at home and 2-1 on the road.
Kuwait have won one of their last 10 games against Qatar: a 1-0 victory in the Gulf Cup in November 2010.
Luis Garcia’s team is winless in three matches across competitions, losing twice.
In 17 competitive matches this year, Kuwait has won twice: 1-0 vs Afghanistan in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and 2-1 vs UAE in the ongoing Arabian Gulf Cup.
