Our Prediction for Iraq vs Oman
The "Lions of Mesopotamia" have only qualified for the World Cup once—in 1986—where they lost all their matches. They have faced setbacks in other qualifying rounds. On the other hand, their opponent, the "Gulf Samba," made their first appearance in the Asian Cup only in 2004.
Oman participated in the most recent continental tournament but was eliminated in the group stage after losing to Saudi Arabia and drawing with Thailand and Kyrgyzstan. Iraq, meanwhile, had a perfect record in the group stage in Qatar but lost 2-3 to Jordan in the playoffs.
Iraq ended the previous round of World Cup qualification with a series of four victories, achieving a perfect record after the group stage. For Oman, the path was more challenging, as they had to contend with Kyrgyzstan and Malaysia for the two available spots. However, by earning ten points in four matches in 2024, Oman advanced to the final round and even managed to secure first place in their group, though they remain underdogs.
