Oman vs Qatar Betting Tips - BTTS

A competitive Gulf Cup of Nations contest seems likely when Oman and Qatar face their second fixture in Group A.

Both teams come into Tuesday's contest after picking up 1:1 draws in their first group fixtures against Kuwait and the UAE, respectively. Oman earned their point with Issam Al Sabhi´s equaliser securing a decent start to the competition for Rashied Jaber´s men.

Consistency has been an issue for Oman in matches played over the past six months. The Reds won four but lost four of their last ten internationals since June. 

Gulf Cup runners-up in 2023, Oman have often been involved in entertaining matches at this competition. Six of their last eight Gulf Cup games since 2019 saw BTTS.

Qatar come into Tuesday's contest after they were held to a share of the spoils against the UAE on Saturday. Akram Afif´s first-half penalty gave Luis Garcia´s men the advantage before Yahya Al Ghassani´s goal on the stroke of half-time secured a draw for the Whites.

Recent Qatar matches have also delivered in the goal markets. Seven of their last eight encounters saw both teams scoring while over 2.5 goals were scored in the seven previous matches before their draw against UAE on Saturday.

Previous meetings between these nations have also seen plenty of goal-scoring action. Eleven of their last 14 encounters saw both teams score including six of their seven most recent meetings since 2012.

BTTS is my preferred pick, while I also expect another share of the spoils at Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Stadium.
