Betting on Arabian Gulf Cup
All eight teams at the Arabian Gulf Cup have been competing in the AFC World Cup qualifiers which provides an insight into their form and capabilities. Yemen were knocked out in the second round with the remaining seven teams currently competing in the third round.
All seven nations have played six matches in the third round with Iraq and United Arab Emirates both winning three matches. Qatar and Oman have won twice with Saudi Arabia and Bahrain winning once each, Kuwait yet to win a game.
The opening matches in the group stage at the Gulf Cup are very important in understanding how each team will play and if their form in the World Cup qualifiers will be a factor.
Kuwait have home advantage which is not expected to play a part. Kuwait haven't reached a final in the previous five editions, including the 2017-18 Arabian Gulf Cup that they hosted.
