Oman vs Qatar Prediction, 10:00 p.m. October 8: Champion's spirit

TPO - Football analysis Oman vs Qatar, 2026 World Cup qualifier 4 - Information on forces, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. After an unimpressive journey in the 3rd qualifying round with confusing losses, today the Qatar team will salvage the last hopes in the 4th qualifying round, where they have a superior advantage over their opponents in terms of field and force.

Qatar, although ranked behind, has home field advantage in this match.

Pre-match comments Oman vs Qatar

Both nations, along with the UAE, will compete in Group A, but only one of the three teams will qualify directly for the finals while the runners-up will be forced to play an Intercontinental play-off.

Once the reigning Asian champion for 2 consecutive times, possessing stars coveted by the whole continent, but in the 3rd qualifying round, Qatar surprisingly played below their ability. Draws or losses against teams like Kyrgyzstan or Uzbekistan made this team lose to Uzbekistan or Iran in the race for 2 direct tickets. In the 3rd qualifying round, Qatar lost 0-3 to Uzbekistan, fell 1-3 to Uzbekistan and especially suffered a 0-5 defeat against UAE.

While Uzbekistan is experiencing its first World Cup appearance, Qatar will have to cling to its last hopes in the fourth qualifying round, where only the top team will have direct tickets to the US, Canada and Mexico.

However, Qatar has a full opportunity to correct the mistake when qualifying for the 4th round, they have the home field advantage. Good facilities, experience in organizing many major tournaments of AFC makes Qatar win the hosting position that other opponents covet. And it will certainly be a disaster if they do not take advantage of this opportunity.

Form, head-to-head history Oman vs Qatar

Qatar's preparation for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers is quite modest. In their last 5 appearances, they have only won 1 match, which was against the younger Qatar U23 team. The rest of the time, Qatar lost to Udinese, Bahrain or Russia. That form is in complete contrast to Oman, who have only lost 1 in the same period. The force is not the strongest, but it must be admitted that Oman had an impressive 3rd qualifying campaign with a draw with South Korea and a win against Yemen.

Therefore, Oman is certainly not an easy opponent for Qatar, especially when they lost in the recent confrontation in the Gulf Cup. Admittedly, Oman is in better form than Qatar. But in official tournaments, when Qatar puts all their elite forces on the field, they will have more quality advantages. Oman's recent appointment of Carlos Queiroz is probably not enough to make up for the gap in terms of pitch and level between the two teams.

Oman: Al Mukhaini (GK), Mabrook, Al Rushaidi, Al Khamisi, Al Kaabi, Al-Mashaiki; Al Rawahi, Fawaz, Al Busaidi, Al Yahmadi, Al Sabhi

Qatar: Barsham (GK), Ali, Pedro Miguel, Khoukni, Al Amin, Salman, Madibo, Afif Akram, Muntari, Fathi, Mukhtar Ali.
