Al-Arabi became the first club from Kuwait to compete in the AFC Cup and are a well decorated historic club having won 64 official trophies so far, the most by any Kuwaiti football team so far.
They will certainly look to make things tricky for East Bengal FC when they face them in Kolkata. Also, under Antonio Lopez Habas, East Bengal FC will need to start on a good note so that there is no pressure and they get a spot in the group stage of ACL Two 2026-27.
Along with this, Nacho Monsalve’s injury concern can also be a very big problem as the Torchbearers are most likely to play the game with an All Indian backline, which might be a tricky problem for them.
