UAE vs Kuwait Prediction and Betting Tips | January 10, 2023

UAE and Kuwait will clash at the Al-Minaa Olympic Stadium on matchday two of the Arabian Gulf Cup on Tuesday (January 10).

UAE lost 2-1 to Bahrain in their opening Group B game. A late strike from Sebastian Tagliabue couldn't undo second-half goals from Al-Aswad and Al-Shaikh. The two-time champions (2007, 2013) are now on the verge of crashing out of the competition.

Al Abyad have faced Kuwait almost a dozen times, with their match-up being pretty even. Kuwait won their last meeting 2-0, but the two previous games ended in stalemates. UAE played five friendlies in preparation for the Gulf Cup, winning two and losing three.

Kuwait, meanwhile, also suffered a defeat in their opener, losing 2-0 to Qatar. Amro Surag gave the 2022 FIFA World Cup hosts a dream start after 21 minutes before a 37th-minute spot-kick from Egypt-born Ahmed Alaaeldin doubled their advantage. With the loss, Kuwait now face the spectre of a fourth straight group stage elimination.

Al-Azraq’s performance was criticised as 'insufficient and depthless' as they seek to keep their Gulf Cup campaign alive. They played only two friendlies recently, beating Lebanon 2-0 and losing to Iraq 1-0.

UAE vs Kuwait Prediction

UAE will face off against Qatar in the final group game. They're not expected to win that clash, so Tuesday’s game is a must-win for them.

Kuwait, meanwhile, are also in the same situation, with Group B leaders Bahrain awaiting in the final group game. That makes Tuesday's meeting decisive for the two bottom-placed teams in terms of their progression hopes. UAE are in slightly better shape and should eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: UAE 1-0 Kuwait
