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.
