The upcoming fixture Kuwait v Palestine takes place on Thursday, 5 June 2025. The match kicks off at 20:15 CEST across Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and at 19:15 BST in the UK.
This international encounter serves as an important tune-up ahead of this summer’s qualifiers. Kuwait will hope to use home advantage at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium, while Palestine aims to build on recent momentum on the road.
How are both teams coming into this?
Kuwait’s recent form has been a mixed bag, with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five outings. Confidence is building after a commanding home victory in March, but inconsistency remains an issue, especially against mid-table opponents.
Palestine arrive in better rut, unbeaten in four of their last five matches with three wins and one draw. Their solid defensive organisation has been a highlight, conceding just two goals in those games, and they have shown they can grind out results away from home.
Our forecast
Despite Kuwait’s home advantage, Palestine look the stronger side on current form. We anticipate a tightly contested match in which both teams will be cautious early on. A low-scoring affair is likely, with defenses on top in the opening stages.
Overall, our tip is a 1–1 draw or a narrow Palestinian victory. We also see value in backing under 2.5 goals given the solidity on both ends and the tactical approach expected from both coaching staffs.
