Asian Handicap Analysis (Kuwait -0.25) first half
In the two recent matches, India vs Afghanistan in the first and second legs on March 22nd and 26th. Coach Igor Stimac’s team seems to have disappointed the media with a stagnant playing style, as their forwards have struggled to create opportunities for their teammates. It seemed that against a weaker Afghanistan, they could easily secure 3 points in both legs. However, the draw and loss results show a significant decline in the performance of Igor Stimac’s team. On the Kuwait side, Coach Rui Bento has lost the last 3 matches, conceding 7 goals. The most recent notable matches are the encounters between Qatar and Kuwait. The team’s playing style seems to have become ineffective as their tactics cannot be executed smoothly on the field. Therefore, it can be seen that recently India has shown more stable form than Kuwait, with many important victories. However, overall, India and Kuwait are considered quite evenly matched. In their recent performances, both teams have shown strong performances in the first half. Besides, with the home advantage and the recent unbeaten record, the predicted score for the first half is 1 – 0, so you can confidently bet on India with a -0.25 handicap for the first half.
