Oman will square off against Kyrgyzstan at the Stadion Majmuasi in the group stage of the CAFA Nations Cup on Tuesday. The Reds secured a third-place finish in the inaugural edition in 2023 while the White Falcons finished fourth.

The White Falcons were also held to a 1-1 draw by Turkmenistan in their campaign opener. Wepa Jumaýew gave Turkmenistan the lead in the 43rd minute, and Joel Kojo pulled them level two minutes later.

Oman vs Kyrgyzstan Prediction
Samba Al-Khaleej have scored one goal apiece in three of their last four games. Notably, they have not scored more than one goal in a competitive match in 2025 thus far.
Kyrgyzstan have won just one of their last seven games in all competitions. They are yet to keep a clean sheet in 2025 and have conceded one goal apiece in four of the five games.
The last two meetings between them have ended in 1-1 draws, and considering the current form of the two teams, another low-scoring draw is likely to ensue.
