World Cup Qualification AFC
In the first round of the fourth stage of the Asian World Cup qualification, the national teams of Oman and Qatar will face off on October 8, 2025. Both sides are eager to start the decisive round with a victory.
Our Prediction for Oman vs Qatar
Oman has never qualified for the World Cup. In the last Asian Cup, they once again failed to progress from the group stage, not winning a single match. However, they performed decently in the qualifiers this time, collecting eleven points from ten matches in the decisive round and finishing ahead of Palestine for fourth place in their group.
Qatar failed to impress at their "home" 2022 World Cup, losing all three of their group stage matches. Yes, they went on to win both subsequent Asian Cups. Yet, they struggled in qualifying again: despite changing coaches, they only managed to finish fourth in their group with thirteen points. They were simply lucky that the regulations changed, giving them another chance to reach the tournament.
Queiroz's side averaged 0.9 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game in the previous qualification round. Under Lopetegui, the players now average 0.7 goals for and 0.9 against per match.
