Saudi Arabia and Oman will meet again in the AFC Asian Cup 1st round at the Khalifa International Stadium Stadium, Ar-Rayyan Tuesday, January 16, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
Saudi Arabia, the team with the third best performance in this tournament, has won the AFC Asian Cup three times. They come to this once every four years tournament with high self-confidence and big ambitions. Their coach, Roberto Mancini, who has led Italy to become champions of Euro 2020, is expected to use his experience to take Saudi Arabia to the top of the 2023 Asian Cup.
This team has left a strong impression at the 2022 World Cup, being the only team to beat Argentina, the World Cup champions at that time. They have prepared well for the 2023 Asian Cup, playing in three friendlies since the start of 2024 and getting good results.
On the other hand, Oman also came to the 2023 Asian Cup with the ambition to progress further. However, they are considered weaker than Saudi Arabia. The 0-1 defeat to Kyrgyzstan, considered a weak opponent, in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers has raised questions about their consistency and stability.
In their opening match, the team coached by Croatian coach Branko Ivanković will definitely play cautiously against stronger Saudi Arabia. They need to pay special attention to the Saudi Arabian striker, who has shown a strong performance in the previous match, namely Saleh Al Shehri.
Saudi Arabia has also shown strong defence, with five consecutive matches without conceding a goal. They are known for their ability to control the ball, which has helped them limit the number of goals they receive.
Meanwhile, in the last four meetings between Saudi Arabia and Oman, Saudi Arabia has won three times. However, this match was the first time the two teams had met in the Asian Cup, which added an element of surprise and anticipation.
Therefore, with all the facts above, the match between Saudi Arabia and Oman in the 2023 Asian Cup is expected to be fierce. Although statistically, Saudi Arabia is considered superior and can get their first three points in Group F.
