Jordan vs Oman Prediction and Betting Tips | 15th October 2024
Jordan host Oman at the Amman International Stadium in Amman on Tuesday for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, looking to remain on the coattails of Group B's top two.
With four points in three games, the Chivalrous Ones are currently in third position, three behind leaders South Korea as well as second-placed Iraq. But while the former have a solid +4 goal-difference, the other are on +2, and the two face off in the other game on the same day.
If the Lions of Mesopotamia lose, and Jamal Sellami's side win here by a decent margin, they could usurp their Middle Eastern neighbors in second place, bolstering their progression hopes.
Ranked 68th in the world, Jordan have never qualified for the World Cup before, but their memorable run in this year's Asian Cup, which saw them reach their first ever finals, should give them hope.
Sitting just a point adrift of them in the group standings are Oman, who finally opened their account with a stunning 4-0 drubbing of Kuwait on Thursday. A brace from Abdulrahman Al-Mushaifri, coupled with goals from Abdullah Ali-Ghassani and Abdullah Fawaz, secured their first win of the campaign, and their first set of points too.
Until then, it had been rough for them, losing to Iraq and South Korea. But this week's victory has lifted them up to fourth position on the table, although Al-Ahmar remain four points adrift of the automatic qualification spots.
Jordan vs Oman Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- There have been 24 clashes between the sides, with the Chivalrous Ones winning 11 times and losing on just four occasions.
- Until their last clash on September 2022, the sides had drawn seven times in a row. Jordan ended that run with a 1-0 win in a friendly encounter two years ago.
- Jamal Sellami's side have lost just once in their last nine matches, although that defeat came in their most recent outing: a 2-0 loss to South Korea on Thursday.
Jordan vs Oman Prediction
The Chivalrous Ones have had a great year, looking menacing in attack while not conceding many chances to their opponents.
By contrast, their rivals from the Gulf have only won once, although it was a convincing one and came in their latest outing. We expect a tense clash, with the former eventually edging out their rivals.
Prediction: Jordan 3-1 Oman
