Kuwait vs Iraq Prediction: 10/9/2024

Kuwait hasn’t had much success against Iraq in recent encounters, managing only a few wins from their last 16 competitive meetings. However, Iraq enters this match in excellent form, with their squad winning eight of their last ten games.

Iraq has been involved in 37 consecutive top-tier away matches where no more than three goals have been scored. While Kuwait hasn’t shown the same level of consistency, 16 of their last 20 World Championship 2026 fixtures have also ended with under 3.5 goals.

Kuwait has been notably reliable in matches where at least one team keeps a clean sheet, achieving this in 13 of their last 14 top-flight games. Iraq has had a similar trend, with seven of their last 11 matches at this level also featuring a shutout, suggesting this match could follow the same pattern.

 

Prediction

Iraq has found their rhythm recently, winning ten of their last 13 World Championship 2027 matches, only dropping points in a handful of games. On the other hand, Kuwait has struggled, with just one win in their last 12 matches. Iraq won this fixture 4-1 last season, and another comfortable win is expected.

Prediction: Kuwait 0-2 Iraq
