Oman: form and statistics

Oman enter this clash after their run in the CAFA Nations Cup, where they lost their last game on penalties to India in the third-place. The regular time of the game ended 1-1, but India won 3-2 on penalties. Prior to the loss, the Reds were unbeaten in four games, including two wins and two draws. They will now hope to start their qualification round with a win, giving them the chance to secure the lone ticket in the group or possibly earn a playoff slot. They are in the same group as Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

Oman vs Qatar match prediction, 08 October 2025

After missing out on the automatic qualification into the World Cup, both sides won’t leave any stone unturned in making use of their second chance well. While I won’t be placing my bets on the regular 1X2 market, games between the two sides have always followed a pattern of BTTS, and I think this pattern will continue in this game. Eight of the last nine games between Oman and Qatar have seen both sides finding the back of the net. Given the poor defensive records of the two sides, I think these options are worth considering.
