Oman plays Algeria in an International Friendly at Suheim Bin Hamad Stadium, Doha, Qatar.
Oman has two consecutive wins vs. Kuwait, 1-0 and Malaysia 6-0. But the two wins came after a string of 6 matches in which Oman lost 5 times and had 1 draw. With the exception of Wigan’s keeper Al Habsi, Oman only has players from the domestic Oman league and a couple of players from the Kuwaitean league. The hosts did not meet quality opposition in the last few years and the only time they met an opponent of real quality was in January this year, a 0-4 defeat against Australia in Sydney.

Algeria selected its best players to face Qatar and Oman in two friendlies, but they managed to lose 0-1 to Qatar last week, despite fielding a competitive lineup. It was an unluky defeat, the fair result would have probably been a 1-0 or 2-1 Algeria win … but Algeria lost and will seek revenge today vs. Oman. Algeria is the kind of team that usually beats inferior opponents and treats friendlies seriously … and a proof of that is the lineup they brought to Qatar, with stars like Feghouli, Slimani, Bentaleb, Ghoulam, Mesbah, etc all present.
Algeria is now more used to the conditions in Qatar (very important) and for sure the visitors are motivated to erase the shame from last week’s match … where they did not deserve to lose. Oman is weaker than Qatar and does not even have home court advantage. I can not see Algeria posting a second poor result in a row … they will treat this game very seriously, looking for the win. They deserved to win vs. Qatar and will most likely get it done this time around in an even more accessible game. The odds are way too high on the bet for ALgeria to win because of the loss vs. Qatar last week.
My tip will be Algeria to win. Correct score prediction: Oman – Algeria 0-2.
