Kyrgyzstan vs Oman Prediction 25.01.2024

• Venue: Al Thumama Stadium (Doha)

The group stage of the Asian Cup is gradually concluding. Although it’s mostly clear which teams from the 1st and 2nd places will advance to the elimination stage, numerous opportunities remain for placement based on the best 3rd places.

Kyrgyzstan’s national team lost all prospects of advancing to the knockout stage, having suffered two straightforward defeats in the first two rounds. Their losses against Saudi Arabia and Thailand essentially left them without any opportunities. The impression is that Kyrgyzstan’s mere participation in the tournament was a substantial achievement in itself.

Oman entered this competition aiming for the 2nd place in the group stage, just behind the group’s strongest team, Saudi Arabia. However, they encountered a formidable Thailand team, resulting in a 0-0 draw. The continuation of Oman in the competition now depends on this match. Based on some predictions, for Oman to secure the 2nd place, Thailand needs to lose against Saudi Arabia and Oman needs to win this match.

Kyrgyzstan vs Oman pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Despite the competition ending for them after this match, Kyrgyzstan is expected to fight tooth and nail as they still could avoid finishing the tournament pointless. Oman feels the heat as a loss would eliminate their chances of advancing to the knockout stage as one of the top third-ranked teams. Kyrgyzstan, adopting a defensive approach, aims to unsettle Oman who aren’t renowned for their high-scoring attack. This could result in a game dominated by defense, which might not be the most entertaining football. Betting on less than 2.5 goals and a narrow victory for Oman seems like good options.
