Team News
Lebanon's head coach, Miodrag Radulović, will be encouraged by his side’s recent results, particularly their victories over Brunei (5-0) and Timor-Leste (4-0), as well as a narrow but crucial win against Qatar. The team's performances in the AFC Asian Cup and World Cup qualifiers, as well as regional competitions, highlight the blend of experience and youth in the current setup
Kuwait, on the other hand, head into this friendly with concerns over their attack, having failed to score in four of their last five games. The coaching staff will likely test tactical variations to revive their scoring touch, while also focusing on strengthening the defence after heavy defeats to South Korea and Palestine.
Recent Form
Lebanon enter the match in better shape, winning three of their last five fixtures, including a memorable 1-0 victory against Qatar and two emphatic wins against Brunei and Timor-Leste. Their only setback came in a narrow 1-0 defeat to Oman, alongside a goalless draw against Yemen.
Kuwait, however, have struggled, managing just one draw in its last five games. They suffered heavy losses to South Korea (0-4) and Palestine (0-2), alongside a 0-1 defeat to Oman and a 0-1 loss to Bahrain. Their only positive result was a 2-2 draw against Iraq, highlighting issues both in defence and attack.
Match Preview
Historically, Lebanon and Kuwait have shared a competitive rivalry, with Lebanon holding a 2-1-2 head-to-head advantage. Based on recent form, Lebanon come into this friendly as the more confident side, especially with their improved scoring record. Kuwait, meanwhile, will look to use this match as a reset, experimenting with lineup changes to regain momentum.
The neutral venue in Surabaya could also add an unpredictable element, with both teams adapting to different conditions. Lebanon will aim to capitalise on its attacking rhythm, while Kuwait’s priority will be to find defensive stability and avoid another heavy defeat.
