Kuwait vs Oman Prediction and Betting Tips | 25th March 2025

Kuwait host Oman in Kuwait City on Tuesday for a clash in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, looking to pick themselves up after a disastrous show earlier this week. The Blue Waves missed a chance to win their first game of the third qualifying round as they relinquished a two-goal cushion against Iraq in stoppage time.

Yousef Nasser struck a double that had them 2-0 up, but Akam Hashim and Ibrahim Bayesh scored apiece in added time to bring the Lions of Mesopotamia level.

With just five points in the bag from seven games, Kuwait remained second from bottom in Group B, ahead of only Palestine in fifth. But all's not lost yet, though, as the Gulf nation still have three more games to turn their fortunes around and salvage a place in the fourth round.

Meanwhile, their rivals Oman are right above them in the standings, having accrued two points more. They, too, oversaw a draw in their latest qualifying fixture, pegging back South Korea in a late 1-1 stalemate. Ali Al-Busaidi struck in the 80th minute to cancel out Hwang Hee-chan's first-half opener for the hosts.
