Kuwait vs South Korea Prediction: Kuwait is a very modest team

Prediction for the Kuwait vs South Korea match which will take place on November 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Kuwait

Kuwait has only made it to the finals once before. That was in 1982 when they failed to progress beyond the first group stage. Moreover, the Blues have not even participated in the Asian Cup since 2015, which speaks volumes about their current state. Their ambitions of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup are low, even though they have already reached the third selection stage. They have failed to register a single win in the four rounds, drawing 1:1 with Jordan, drawing 0:0 with Iraq, drawing 2:2 with Palestine, and losing 4:0 to Oman. They sit fifth in Group B.

South Korea

South Korea is one of the most successful Asian teams to make it to the World Cup. The Tigers even made it out of their group at the 2022 World Cup, only to lose 4:1 to Brazil in the round of 16. They are also bronze medallists from the last continental championship. In the third round of qualifying for the FIFA World Cup 2026, the Red Devils have performed excellently. They may have drawn 0:0 with Palestine but beat Oman 3:1, Jordan 2:0, and Iraq 3:2. They are at Group B on ten points.

Expert Betting Tips

South Korea got off to a slow start in their third qualifier for the 2026 World Cup, drawing 0:0 with Palestine, but they have since picked up momentum with three wins in a row. The Tigers should have no trouble doing the same in the upcoming encounter. Kuwait is a very modest team, having not even played in an Asian Cup in a decade, and it would be naïve of the Blue to dream of making it to the Mundial. 

As we have already seen, South Korea failed to score against Palestine in their first match of the third stage of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. Still, the Tigers then redeemed themselves by scoring eight goals in their next three matches (an average of 2.67 per game)—an excellent statistic. Now, they have another chance to show their attacking prowess as they take on one of the underdogs in Group B.
