Kuwait have endured way too mixed and inconsistent results in their recent matches. In their last six games, they have managed just a couple of victories along with a draw and three defeats. Ranked 148th in the world rankings, Kuwait are the most successful team in the history of the Gulf Cup with 10 triumphs, but recent editions have not produced kind results for them. The nations will be looking towards bouncing back and getting their hold on the trophy back.
2022 was a very eventful year for Qatar. From all the controversies surrounding their status as the hosts of the FIFA World Cup to the worst World Cup campaign as a host nation, Qatar have surely come a long way. Now all of their focus will be on the field and trying to develop a team chemistry that was missing in large parts during the World Cup. Qatar have been crowned the champions of the Gulf Cup on three instances, the latest one being in 2014.
With this being the first game of the tournament, both the coaches will be looking to name their respective strongest XIs. This will provide the first step in going out and earning that all important victory and three points.
