Kuwait and Lebanon face off at the Gelora Bung Tomo (GBT) Stadium in Indonesia for an international friendly on Tuesday. Ranked 138th in the world, the Blue Waves are going through a torrid year in 2025 as they've failed to win any of their five official clashes so far, losing four.
The only time that the Middle Eastern side managed to avoid a defeat this year was in a 2-2 draw to Iraq in a FIFA World Cup qualifier, back in March.
Meanwhile, China, Oman, Palestine and South Korea have all inflicted losses on a hapless Kuwait, who look for some respite in the upcoming international window.
By contrast, Lebanon have seen a good year, winning three of their five outings and losing just once: a narrow 1-0 defeat to Oman on 25 May.
During this run, the Cedars were also involved in an unofficial friendly last week against Qatar, which they won 1-0. The game was played in two halves of 35 minutes each (70 minutes in total). Khoder Kaddour struck the only goal of the game in the sixth minute to earn the Lebanese a slender victory.
