Kuwait vs Palestine Prediction and Betting Tips | June 5th 2025

Kuwait will host Palestine at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium on Thursday in the penultimate game of their third-round 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Both sides will be keen to get a result this week to retain their hopes of making the fourth qualification round.

Kuwait failed to take their chances and were punished in their 1-0 home loss to Oman last time out, making it five draws and three losses in eight games and leaving them at the bottom of the group. Al-Azraq have only two wins in their last 20 outings, but will remain optimistic to get a result this midweek, which could put them back in contention for fourth-round qualification if results elsewhere go their way.

Palestine have had an equally poor campaign but managed to pick up a thrilling 2-1 win over Iraq during the last international break through an 88th-minute equalizer and a 97th-minute winner. The Lions of Canaan are only one point ahead of Thursday's hosts and four points behind qualification for the next group phase, but could still clinch a late qualification should Oman fail to pick up any points in their final two games.
