Kuwait vs Iraq prediction
Kuwait started the Arabian Gulf Cup with a slender 1-0 defeat to hosts Saudi Arabia at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah due to an own goal scored by Yousef Al Haqan mid-way through the second half.
After a tough FIFA World Cup 2026 group stage campaign in which they conceded 12 goals in three games, Iraq began their Arabian Gulf Cup with a frustrating 1-1 draw against Oman the other day, having taken an early sixth minute lead via Ali Qasim.
Kuwait were stubborn against the Saudi Arabians the other day but Iraq remain favourites in a likely low-scoring contest at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City Stadium.
Kuwait vs Iraq tip: Iraq to win & under 3.5 goals
