Oman vs Vietnam Prediction
Oman have not hit top gear in the qualification campaign so far and have just one win to their name. They have scored just twice in this campaign, one less than Vietnam.
The visitors also haven't been faultless, conceding more goals than anyone (seven). We do not expect this game to be a high-scoring one but a win for Oman is our prediction here.
Prediction: Oman 1-0 Vietnam
