Oman vs Palestine Prediction and Betting Tips | November 14th 2024

Oman will face Palestine at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex on Thursday in another game of their third-round 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The home side have endured a difficult start to their World Cup qualifying campaign but continue their fight for a first-ever appearance at the global showpiece as they sit fourth in Group B with three points.

They were thrashed 4-0 by Jordan in their last match and could have no major complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the contest.

Palestine have not fared any better than their midweek opponents and are one of two sides in Group B still searching for their first win of the third-round qualifiers. They played out a 2-2 draw against Kuwait last time out and had looked set to be headed toward defeat before Zaid Qunbar headed home a late goal to snatch a point for the Lions of Canaan.

The visitors sit rock-bottom in their group with two points and will be desperate for a win this week.

Oman vs Palestine Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Thursday's game will mark just the fifth meeting between the two teams. Oman have won three of their previous matchups while Palestine have won the other.
The two nations last traded tackles in a friendly clash last September which the hosts won 2-1.
The visitors are without a clean sheet in all four of their games in this fixture.
Oman have the worst defensive record in Group B so far with a goal concession tally of eight.
The Lions of Canaan were ranked 100th in the latest FIFA rankings and now sit 20 places behind their midweek opponents.

Oman vs Palestine Prediction

Oman have lost three of their last four matches after going undefeated in their previous six. They have, however, not lost to a lower-ranked nation since their 1-0 defeat to Kyrgyzstan last November and will head into the midweek clash full of confidence.

Palestine are on a six-game winless streak, with three of those outings ending in defeat. They have failed to win or score in their last three games as the away team and could see defeat here.

Prediction: Oman 1-0 Palestine
