Following his absence in the recent loss to Oman, Kuwait's star striker Yousef Nasser is expected to return and lead the attack from the start, with an impressive record of 55 goals in 121 international caps.

His domestic teammates Mohammad Daham and Ahmad Zanki are likely to provide support from the wings, while Ahmed Al-Dhefiri could complete the forward line through the center.

With key midfielder Sultan Al-Enezi unavailable for the final two qualifying matches, Redha Hani may step in to partner Jasem Al-Mutar in midfield.

Palestine's attack will be spearheaded by dynamic forward Wessam Abou Ali, who scored his third international goal in the last match and has tallied 28 goals in 35 appearances for Al Ahly in the Egyptian Premier League since the start of last season, including four in his most recent outing in late May.

He will receive support from Oday Dabbagh, on loan from Aberdeen and with 16 goals in 44 caps, as well as Tamer Seyam, who has netted 14 goals in 68 appearances for his country.

In midfield, Oday Kharoub and Ataa Jaber are set to maintain their partnership after the victory against Iraq in March, while Ameed Mahajneh, who scored the winning goal in that game, should pair with Michel Termanini at the center of defense.

Kuwait possible starting lineup:

Al-Rashidi; Al-Hajeri, Al-Enezi, Al-Harbi, Khaled; Hani, Al-Mutar; Daham, Al-Dhefiri, Zanki; Nasser
