Kuwait vs Oman prediction, H2H and probable lineups - March 25, 2025
One of the matches of the 8th round of the World Cup qualifying tournament will take place on Tuesday at the International Stadium in Kuwait, where the local team will host Oman. I suggest betting on goals in this match with a good chance of success.
Match preview
Kuwait, which took second place in the second stage of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with 7 points in six rounds and lagged behind the leader, Qatar, by 9 points, faced difficulties in the third stage. At the moment, the team cannot find its game and has not yet won a single victory.
After seven matches, Kuwait has only 5 points and is in fifth place in the group. The gap from Oman, which occupies third place, is 2 points, and from the second passable place, occupied by Iran, 7 points. Last week, Kuwait played an away match against Iraq and ended in a 2-2 draw.
Oman showed good results in the second stage of the 2026 World Cup qualifying cycle, scoring 13 points in six matches and taking first place in the group, ahead of Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, and Taiwan. However, the third stage of qualification became a more difficult test for the team.
In a group with South Korea, Iraq, and Jordan, Oman could not maintain its previous form. After seven rounds, they have only 7 points and are in fourth place in the group. The team is already five points behind third-placed Iraq. Last week, Oman managed to snatch a point in an away game against South Korea (1-1).

Bookmakers are understandably on the side of Oman, which confidently defeated the opponent on their home field. We believe that the visitors, at the very least, will not lose, and our bet is "Oman's win with a handicap (0)" with odds of 1.60.
