Oman v Qatar Tips

Oman beat Qatar 2-1 last year, but maybe this time it is 2-1 the other way, with Qatar kicking off the group with the right result.

From the last two head-to-heads, both sides have managed one win each, showing how evenly matched they are. Oman and Qatar are both struggling for form, losing their last two games in this tournament. With neither team showing real consistency, a draw looks the most likely outcome here.

Qatar are favorites, but Oman’s disciplined defensive structure and counter-attacking pace have troubled them before. At 4.80, Oman’s ability to frustrate and nick a goal makes this a live underdog.

Qatar seems to be superior. As Oman is local, and they have scored in their last 10 games, including big rivals such as South Korea and even India, I am betting with this odd that they both score.
