Saudi Arabia vs Oman Prediction & Match Preview

Saudi Arabia will begin their AFC Asian Cup campaign at Khalifa International Stadium when they take on Oman for their opening fixture in Group F, aiming to start the group stage strong given the presence of Thailand and Kyrgyzstan also in the group.

Past Meetings

• This will be the 14th meeting between the two teams, with each winning five times.
• Oman won the most recent match, 2-1, in January 2023. However, Saudi Arabia won all three prior to that.

Who will win the match between Saudi Arabia vs Oman?

Saudi Arabia has been in fine shape, as evidenced by their four wins in their past five matches. Additionally, the Green Falcons have some very capable players at their disposal, and they are playing against a side that is ranked 18 spots lower than them.

Meanwhile, Oman has not been the best when performing away from home soil, as seen by their two defeats in their past four away matches.

How many goals can be expected?

We don’t expect a flurry of goals in this match. Given that Saudi Arabia has produced four clean sheets and fewer than 2.5 goals in each of their last four matches. Additionally, Oman has also not had many high-scoring encounters in recent months, with each of its past three games ending with fewer than 2.5 goals.

In addition, two of the last three h2h meetings between these two at this ground have had under 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a low-scoring affair is expected this time out.

Will Both teams score in the match?

Saudi Arabia holds a strong defensive record, having preserved clean sheets in each of their past five matches, while Oman are not a heavy scorer when playing away from home soil.

Thus, the chances are quite low for goals to come from either end of the pitch.

Saudi Arabia vs Oman Prediction

Saudi Arabia’s squad strength and their recent performances do give them the edge here against an Oman side that lacks consistency. Therefore, a victory for Saudi Arabia at 1.64 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.

For the second tip, under 2.5 goals at 1.80 odds seems very promising. Considering both teams recent goal involvement in their matches and their past results. In addition, our wager would also be that the game will conclude with a 2-0 final score at 6.00 odds.
