With a 0-2 upset, Arab Kuwait beat Rifa 3-2 from Bahrain in the AFC Cup group stage premiere. At the moment, however, it is at 2η position as the other favorite of the group, Dofar from Oman defeated 3-0 the Palestinians of Shabab Al Khalil. The first (direct qualification) will obviously be played in the last match between Dofar and Arabi and because it may be judged in the goal difference, I estimate that the Cubans will chase a clear victory which they can achieve from the first half, against the weakest group team.
