Kuwait Preview: Korea Republic makes it five winless for Kuwait

Kuwait cannot stop conceding goals at the moment and at the halfway stage of the third round, no one has shipped more goals in Group B than them. Averaging two goals conceded per game, Kuwait have managed three draws, but no wins and two defeats. In danger of being cut adrift in the bottom two, three points is a must for them here.

Jordan Preview: Just one loss in the third round as it stands

Goal difference is currently keeping Jordan inside the automatic World Cup qualification places ahead of Iraq, with both nations on eight points in Group B. The two teams battled to a cagey 0-0 draw this past Thursday, arguably a better result for Jordan being away from home, provided they back it up with a positive result here.

Kuwait vs Jordan Prediction

It would be no surprise if confidence was low right now within the Kuwaiti camp with wins having been so hard to come by for them. When considering their defensive instability, Jordan will consider themselves in prime position to take advantage with a squad boasting momentum and the ability to carve out positive results under pressure. Explore utilising the double chance market to back Jordan getting at least a point, if not all three out of this game.
