Oman vs Kyrgyzstan: CAFA Nations Cup Prediction (02.09.2025)

On Tuesday, September 2, at 14:00 CEST, the national teams of Oman and Kyrgyzstan will meet at the JAR Stadium in Tashkent for the second round of Group A in the CAFA Nations Cup 2025. In their opening matches, Oman drew 1-1 with Uzbekistan, while Kyrgyzstan also finished 1-1 against Turkmenistan.

When making a prediction for the Oman vs Kyrgyzstan match, it is important to note that from the group stage, teams immediately advance either to the final and the third-place match. After the first-round draws, the second matches carry particular importance, giving both teams a chance to secure a strong position ahead of decisive third-round matches.

Oman

The Omani team, previously coached by Rashid Al Yafai, failed to reach the fourth round of Asian qualification for the 2026 World Cup. The national football association turned to an experienced foreign coach, appointing Portuguese specialist Carlos Queiroz.

The clash with Uzbekistan marked Queiroz’s first official match in charge. Oman impressed, especially considering they entered as clear underdogs. Scoring early in the 4th minute, they defended solidly and earned a valuable point against the group favorite.

Kyrgyzstan

Meanwhile, Maxim Lisitsyn’s side dropped two crucial points in their opening match against Turkmenistan, where they had been favorites. This setback may heavily affect their chances of advancing.

Currently, Kyrgyzstan is unbeaten in three matches: a 3-1 win over Qatar, a 2-2 draw with North Korea, and a 1-1 result with the UAE. However, they had already missed their chance to progress to the fourth round of World Cup qualification.

Head-to-head statistics

Since 2023, the two teams have met four times. Both have one win each, 1-0, while the last two encounters ended 1-1.

Prediction

Neither side is strong enough to dominate in terms of form or class. Oman, however, looks slightly better, especially after drawing with Uzbekistan.

Prediction: Oman to avoid defeat and total under 3.5.

Odds: Oman Double Chance & Under 3.5 goals – 1.72
