Oman hosts Japan in round 6 of the third stage of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 16th at Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex (Muscat)
For Oman, the upcoming game is very important since a defeat will deprive the team of real chances for a place in the top three of this group. So far, the modest Asian team continues to fight and keeps a good bar of results! In the first round, the Reds even were able to beat the Japanese with a score of 1-0. Will Oman be able to take points away from the Japanese squad once again? This development of events cannot be ruled out. After all, Oman gained victories in this qualification with great difficulties and lost with minimal margins. So, it's difficult to say with certainty how this or that match with the participation of the Oman national team will end. But a stubborn struggle in matches with this team can be expected, and, accordingly, a plus handicap in matches with its participation is good for betting.

The Japanese look very weak. Their production is very low, and so far, they gain positive results due to a reliable defensive line. In five matches of the current qualification, the Japanese have scored only four goals. Hajime Moriyasu's charges had great difficulties with scoring every goal, and the first November match was no exception. On November 11, the Japanese faced the Vietnamese and were able to win only with a score of 1-0. The Blue Samurais can only dream of more confident victories. The tournament situation for the national team of Japan is still not entirely bad, and it still has chances for a direct ticket to Qatar. But they need to consistently add points to their piggy bank. However, this does not happen so far, and the Japanese alternate difficult 1-0 victories with defeats.
The upcoming game will surely turn out to be tough, and the fans will not see many goals. But I decided to bet not on total but on the plus handicap for Oman. Perhaps the Japanese are not going to win with confident numbers on the scoreboard in the current qualification, and Oman’s victory with a +1.5 handicap looks like a quite suitable option for betting. There are absolutely no reasons to believe in the confident victory of the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Oman to win with +1.5 handicap
