Chinese Taipei vs Kuwait tips and predictions

Chinese Taipei price just looks too big in this clash

The total goals expectation with the sportsbooks is a higher number than normal so this could be entertaining. With the one-sided odds Kuwait are a short price but they've occasionally shown that they're not impregnable at the back.

This is one of those games where there is no debating that the away team is clearly favoured to win. But even if they end up scoring nine goals, there is just no logic to taking the short price.

Chinese Taipei might have their backs to the wall in no time. However, the hosts have got 7 wins under their belt from their last 10 home games. Having lesser fortunes than they'd want, the visitors have been defeated in 9 of their last 14 matches, away and at home. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this. It seems that Kuwait have won this before a ball has even been kicked. But it's worth looking closer at how the two sides have fared.

Chinese Taipei are going to have to produce a standard of football most people don't think they are capable of. If the hosts can somehow influence the result of the match, it will be due to the confidence they gained from their recent goal spree. When they've been playing at home they are looking confident. Their recent 10 home matches have seen them hitting the net an average of 2.2 times per game.

Kuwait have conceded three or more goals in 2 of their last 3 matches. If there are issues, maybe they are manifesting themselves at the other end of the pitch. The visitors haven't really been able to rely on their strikers lately. They've been goalless in 10 of their last 16 matches.

If you're reading this you've likely seen the recent performances by the hosts already. If they are to somehow pull this off, it is essential that they build on those showings.

It's felt that at least one of these sides will look to park the bus because of the clear favouritism for Kuwait. But the odds-against for the BTTS Yes looks like it's far better value.
