Oman and Qatar will meet in the second qualifying stage of the 2022 World Cup. Will the hosts be able to achieve victory?
Oman
Oman, although it is in second place and has seven points less than the leading Qatar (12 against 19), but retains a good chance of the first position, as it has played two matches less, and a victory in a face-to-face match will significantly increase the chances of a leading place. At the moment, Oman has four wins and one loss, and the ratio of goals scored and conceded is 11-4.
Qatar
Qatar has yet to face difficulties in the second qualifying stage, with six wins in seven matches. The only loss of points occurred in the confrontation with India, which ended in a " dry " draw. In the rest of the matches, Qatar looked confident in the game and often convincing in the score. In total, 17 goals were scored, and only one was conceded. If Qatar does not lose to Oman, it is guaranteed to finish in first place.
Statistics and figures:
- Oman scored four wins with one loss;
- Qatar has won six games and drawn once;
- Qatar won the first round match 2-1.
Forecast
The strongest teams of Group E will meet in a face-to-face match. In the previous battle, both Oman and Qatar scored, this time I expect the same.
