Nepal are set to square off against Kuwait at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium on Saturday in their second game of the 2023 AFC Asia Cup qualifiers.

Both sides kicked off their campaigns with a loss as Nepal suffered a 2-0 defeat to Jordan on Thursday at Saturday's venue, conceding two second-half goals. Kuwait also face Indonesia at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in their campaign opener on Wednesday.

They opened the scoring in the 40th minute of the game but Indonesia scored goals just before and after the break to secure a 2-1 win. Nepal are in pursuit of their first qualification to the finals while Kuwait were barred from participating in the 2019 edition and will be looking to make it to the finals this time around.

Nepal vs Kuwait Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Nepal vs Kuwait Prediction

Keeping a clean sheet has been a problem for both teams, with the Gorkhalis keeping just two shutouts in their last 10 games across all competitions. Al-Azraq have also kept two clean sheets in their last seven games across all competitions.

Nepal have scored just one goal against Kuwait, with that goal coming in the first meeting between the two sides in 1982, so they might struggle to find the back of the net in the game. We are backing Kuwait to secure a win in this match.

Prediction: Nepal 0-2 Kuwait
