After a nightmare start to their Arab Cup campaign, Oman revived their hopes with a gritty 0–0 draw against a strong Morocco side. Now, everything rests on their final group game against Comoros at Stadium 974 (10:30 PM IST, Monday). With Comoros losing both matches so far, Oman will see this as a golden chance — the only question is whether they can handle the pressure.
Current Standings: Oman sit third in Group B with just one point, while Comoros are rooted to the bottom with none.
Head-to-head Record: Monday’s fixture will be the first meeting between the sides in any competitive fixture.
Oman kept their knockout hopes alive with a gritty 0–0 draw against Morocco, but there was a sense of a missed opportunity. With the Atlas Lions down to 10 men early in the second half, Carlos Queiroz’s side mustered just one shot on target. In truth, it took a standout display from Al Mukhaini — making two crucial saves — to secure the point and keep their campaign alive.
Still, Oman will be glad to still be alive in the tournament, but their earlier loss to Morocco means the margin for error is now razor thin. With Morocco set to face group leaders Saudi Arabia, a heavy Oman win over Comoros — combined with a Moroccan defeat — could open the door for qualification to knockouts. Thus, for Oman, Monday is nothing short of a must-win battle.
When it comes to must-win games, the spotlight always shifts to the men up front — and for Oman, that man is Al-Subhi. With three goals in the World Cup qualifiers (the second most by an Oman player), the Reds’ trusted target man will be expected to step up and lead the charge when it matters most.
Oman Probable Starting Lineup - Al Mukhaini (GK); Ali Busaidi, Al-Khamisi, Rushaidi, Al-Habashi, Malki, Al Yahmadi, Al Saadi, Al Mashaiki, Al Rawahi, Al Subhi.
Comoros’ first-ever Arab Cup campaign has been a tough reality check, with back-to-back 3–1 defeats — the latest against Saudi Arabia — already ending their knockout hopes. Still, for the lowest-ranked side in the group, there are positives to take: they found the net against both Morocco and Saudi Arabia, something even higher-ranked Oman couldn’t manage.
With knockout hopes gone, Comoros can play with nothing to lose — and that freedom could make them dangerous. If they put early pressure on Oman, they may just have enough to grind out at least a draw.
For Comoros, the spotlight was expected to be on Zaia Amir and Ibroihim Youssuf, but it was Housseine Zakouani who stole the show against Saudi Arabia. With an assist for Youssuf and two key passes, he announced himself as a danger man — and one to watch in this clash.
Comoros Probable Starting Lineup - Ahamada (GK), Said, Nassim Ahmed, Karim Mohamed, Haimidou Alii, Kari, Zainou Mohamed, Saindou, Youssouf Ibroihim, Zakouani, Zaid Amir.
On paper, Oman should be favourites given their superior FIFA ranking, but the reality is trickier. Their scoring struggles and the heavy pressure of needing a win level the playing field, making a draw — or even an upset — a real possibility. Still, the odds lean Oman’s way at 1.63, with Comoros at 5.50 and the draw at 3.88.
