Oman vs Qatar Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers

Al Ahmar emerged victorious when these sides last faced each other.

The Oman national football team are all set to battle it out against the Qatar national football team in their round four fixture of the FIFA World Cup qualifier for the Asian region. Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium is ready to witness the interesting clash.

Al Ahmar will be at home, and this will be a big advantage for them here. The Oman national football team will be keen on winning their upcoming fixture, but it is going to be a heated contest for them.

They have shown decent performances in the AFC FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Oman will be looking for a better performance this time around.

The Qatar national football team have also shown similar performances as their upcoming opponents. They are likely to be low on confidence due to their loss against Oman last time around. Al Annabi must come up with a unique strategy if they want to outplay Al Ahmar.
