Bitesize Prediction: Oman vs Jordan – 05/06/25

Competition: World Cup Qualifying

Market: Both teams to score – No

Odds: 4/5 @ BetUS

In what is a real must-win showdown for both camps on Thursday evening, Oman will welcome Jordan to Muscat for a World Cup qualifying battle.

Starting with the hosts, while Oman might have endured Gulf Cup heartbreak against Bahrain back in January, Rashid Jaber’s men have come roaring back in some style. Last seen in World Cup qualifying action claiming a gritty 1-0 victory away at Kuwait on March 25th, the Reds sit just three points away from breaking into the top-two and they will be bracing themselves for what is a crucial showdown here. Picking up some perfect momentum last week as they clinched another 1-0 win against Lebanon, the former Al-Seeb boss has seen his squad suffer just a single defeat from any of their previous 11 consecutive appearances across all fronts – a run that stems back to a 1-0 loss against Iraq on November 19th. It should also be highlighted, Oman have conceded just a sole strike in over 300 minutes of action. Likewise, Thursday’s hosts have seen four of their last five matchups finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, while Jordan might mark their return to qualifying action on Thursday evening clinging onto silver medal spot in the Group B standings, Jamal Sellami’s men have drastically failed to find any kind of recent stability. Eventually slumping to a 2-0 loss away at Saudi Arabia last week, the Chivalrous Ones have notched just a single victory from any of their previous nine consecutive appearances across all competitions. g off March’s international break with a 1-1 stalemate against South Korea, Thursday’s guests have also shown some worrying issues in the final third. g off 2024 with another 1-1 draw against Kuwait, Jordan have failed to notch more than a single strike in eight of their last nine outings. It should be noted, with eight of the previous nine meetings between Thursday’s opponents finishing with under 2.5 goals, we are expecting what should be another cagey affair here.
