Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
--------------------------------
Iraq and Oman will face off in Jeddah in the Gulf Cup Group A, with Iraq aiming to bounce back from a disappointing World Cup campaign. Their previous meetings suggest another closely contested encounter, with little separating the two sides.
Team Analysis:
Iraq head into the Gulf Cup looking to recover from a difficult World Cup campaign, having lost six of their last nine matches and struggled to score consistently. Oman arrive with more confidence after a 4-1 win over Mozambique, although their recent competitive record has also been inconsistent and both sides are likely to be involved in another tight contest.
Player Situation:
Iraq have a 27-man squad available, with experienced striker Aymen Hussein expected to lead the attack after scoring 34 goals in 97 international appearances. Oman also have a strong and experienced group for the Gulf Cup, although Mataz Saleh was among three players dropped from their original 30-man squad.
Result Prediction:
Iraq have scored just 0.55 goals per game in their last nine matches, while 11 of their last 12 meetings with Oman have produced under 2.5 goals. Iraq also lead the recent head-to-head record, winning three of their four clashes since 2020, with three of those victories ending 1-0.
Predicted Result: Iraq 1-0 Oman.
