Oman was largely unbeaten in 2018 thanks largely to their defensive unit comprising of Mohammed Al-Musalami, Mohammed Al-Rawahi, Mohammed Al-Balushi and Saad Al-Mukhaini. The group has been representing their nation for a long time now and were in great form when Oman beat the likes of UAE and Saudi Arabia on their way to the Gulf Cup.
The absence of star goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi is probably the only disappointing news so far for Oman coach Pim Verbeek but his replacement Faiyz Al Rusheidi is a decent shot stopper himself.
Uzbekistan finished fourth in the 2011 edition of the Asian Cup and are known for their ability to always make it out of the and group stage. Skipper Odil Akhmedov is a warrior for his country in the heart of midfield. He is a proper box to box player and will be key in moving the ball quickly to his forward line. Strikers Sardor Rashidov and Marat Bikmaev both will be etched for a start as Hector Cuper is likely going to play a lone striker in the game.
This game has a draw written all over it as both teams like to play risk-free football with a lot of assurance at the back. Their games against Turkmenistan may ultimately decide their fate in terms of progress from the group stage.
