The Indian football Team will be back in action on Thursday. They play Kuwait in the first match of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers Second Round at Kuwait’s Jaber al-Ahmad International Stadium. Sunil Chhetri and co recently encountered off against their opponents Kuwait in the 2023 SAFF Championship on home grounds. As the Blue Tigers aim to return to winning ways, let’s take a look at the all-time India vs Kuwait Head-to-Head record.
In the qualifiers, however, Indian Football is in Group A with reigning Asian champions Qatar, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. Following their match against Kuwait on November 16, the Blue Tigers will face 2022 FIFA World Cup hosts Qatar in Bhubaneswar on November 21.
The Blue Tigers are coming off three straight defeats in the King’s Cup and the Merdeka Cup. Kuwait comes into this game after a 2-1 win against Syria and a hard-fought 1-0 loss to the UAE.
This will be the third encounter between the two teams this year, with the first two games ending in draws. The most recent was in the SAFF Championship final, which India won on penalties.
In recent matches, the Kuwait national football has demonstrated tenacity and remarkable performance. They won nine of the fifteen matches they played this year, drew three, and lost three. It is worth mentioning that two of these defeats came in their past three games. Kuwait had two victories and two loses after their defeat to India in the SAFF Championship final.
