Oman vs Qatar prediction
When taking into account the stakes surrounding this match, it would be no surprise if we saw a tense battle between Oman and Qatar. Only three games are to be played in this short group stage which will see the table toppers qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Defeat for either would be a disaster, which only increases the likelihood of a stalemate.
Expect a defensive style of play from both Oman and Qatar, with an emphasis on bodies being behind the ball when out of possession and emphasis on trying to break away on the counter attack to create opportunities. In the end though, it would be no surprise if we saw these two nations cancel each other out and this match finish in a draw.
