Turkmenistan vs Oman

Turkmenistan are seeking their first win in this year's CAFA Nations Cup as they face Oman in their final Group A fixture on Friday.

The Omanis are unbeaten in this competition and will be keen to build on a win in their previous fixture. They should have the upper hand over the Turkmenistanis, who are unconvincing in this competition.

Turkmenistan News

Turkmenistan come into this clash off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Uzbekistan in their previous fixture. They fell two goals down at the break before Didar Durdyyew pulled one back late in the second half.

That result means Turkmenistan are winless in the competition, having begun their campaign with a 1-1 draw with Kyrgyzstan. Their overall form has also been suspect lately as they have failed to win eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions, losing five times on this run.

Turkmenistan often struggle to keep things tight at the back and are without a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, Rovshen Meredov’s team have scored in the last four fixtures, three of which have produced over 2.5 goals.

Oman News

Oman were victorious in their previous fixture, earning a 2-1 win over Kyrgyzstan. They fell behind midway through the first half and needed an injury-time brace from Issam Al-Sabhi to secure the win.

Having begun their campaign with a 1-1 draw with Uzbekistan, Oman remain unbeaten in the group and can reach the final with a win on Friday, if Uzbekistan fail to win their match. Looking back across their overall form, Carlos Queiroz’s team are unbeaten in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions, winning four times on this run.

Oman are usually sharp going forward and have scored in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, their defence could use some work, having failed to keep a clean sheet seven times on this run.

Head to Head

Oman often come out on top in this fixture and have picked up four wins, while Turkmenistan have only been victorious once in the last five matches. The most recent meeting was at the 2023 CAFA Nations Cup, with the Omanis winning 2-0.
