Saudi Arabia surprised everyone in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, beating the eventual champions, Argentina in their opening game. Even though they ended up losing the next couple of matches, the Arab nation certainly displayed their extraordinary quality and were deemed as the favourites for the Gulf Cup. However, a 2-0 loss against Iraq on matchday two has left them in little unfortunate position and they will be looking to beat Oman and progress towards the knockouts.
Oman have endured an inconsistent run of results in their recent games. In their last six fixtures, they have managed three victories to go along with two draws and a defeat.

Even though, Saudi Arabia present a tough test, Oman will be confident of passing it and earning their knockout qualification.
Given the importance of the fixture, both the nations will be looking towards naming their strongest XIs respectively. This will help in providing a treat for the fans and an excellent matchup.
