Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-------------------------
The United Arab Emirates and Oman meet in Doha as both aim to secure one of Asia’s remaining spots for the 2026 World Cup. The UAE have already played their opening Group A match, while Oman make their debut in this fourth-round stage. Both teams are eager to claim a strong start in the three-team bracket.
Team Analysis:
The UAE aim to start the fourth round of Asian World Cup qualifying with a win, building on an unbeaten streak and recent friendly victories to boost confidence. Oman, seeking their first-ever direct spot in the tournament, enter the stage after a mixed 2025 and a goalless draw with Qatar, needing maximum points to top Group B. Historically, Oman have struggled against the UAE, failing to win in their last eight competitive encounters, making this a challenging fixture.
Player Situation:
The UAE welcome back key players Caio Lucas, Khalifa Al-Hammadi, and Sultan Adil for their clash in Doha, though Fabio Lima is the only confirmed starter and will lead the attack. Lima, who has scored eight goals in qualifying, aims to drive the team in this crucial tie before facing Qatar. Oman will likely field a similar 4-1-4-1 setup, with Thani Al Rushaidi and Khalid Al-Braiki anchoring the defence and Harib Al Saadi returning from suspension in midfield.
Result Prediction:
This match is expected to be a closely contested, low-scoring affair due to its high stakes. The UAE enter with stronger momentum and recent success against Oman. They are favored to narrowly claim victory.
Predicted Result: United Arab Emirates 1-0 Oman.
