9.20Tip and bets
Qatar rightfully receives the status of favorite in this pair from bookmakers, considering the more solid composition, first of all. In addition, the Qataris successfully play against Oman, they won in three previous face-to-face matches. We expect that this time nothing will change in the balance of power between the teams.
Our prediction is Qatar win with odds of 1.94
Bet on total
We don't think we should expect a completely closed game. After all, the competition itself is not of great importance, plus, face-to-face matches are characterized by high scoring. Thus, in four of the last five personal meetings, more than two goals were scored, which we do not rule out today.
The second bet is total over two goals with odds of 1.79
Bet on the first half
Three of Oman last four matches ended in a draw in the opening 45 minutes. We think no one will take any unnecessary risks today and we will see an equal score on the scoreboard in the first half.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.12
