Malaysia vs Oman Prediction
Malaysia and Oman are embroiled in a three-way battle for automatic qualification from this group, with Kyrgyzstan also tied on six points. The latter are facing strugglers Chinese Taipei and are ostensibly expected to claim all three points. Malaysia have conceded at least two goals in five of their last seven competitive games. This defensive porosity could hamper their chances of advancing to the next stage of the qualifiers.
Oman have been dominant in this fixture and enter this game as pre-game favorites despite playing away from home. Jaroslav Šilhavý's side are currently on a three-game unbeaten run (two draws) and will be looking to build on this to solidify their quest for qualification to the next round.
Malaysia are winless in their last four competitive games (three losses) and might struggle to end this run here. Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.
