Turkmenistan will square off against Oman at Stadion Majmuasi in their final group-stage match of the 2025 CAFA Nations Cup on Friday. The Karakum Warriors can no longer qualify for the final, but a win here will help them secure a spot in the third-place match. This is a must-win match for the Reds, who have four points, the same as Uzbekistan.
The Greens were held to a 1-1 draw by Kyrgyzstan in their campaign opener and suffered a 2-1 loss to Uzbekistan in their previous outing. Didar Durdyýew scored a consolation goal for them in the 84th minute after they had conceded twice in the first half.
Samba Al-Khaleej also drew their campaign opener 1-1 against Uzbekistan. They bounced back with a 2-1 win over Kyrgyzstan on Tuesday. Late drama ensued as Issam Al-Sabhi scored twice in stoppage time to help them record a memorable comeback win.

Turkmenistan vs Oman Prediction
The Greens have endured a winless run in the competition thus far, losing three of their five games. They have scored just three goals in these games while conceding eight times and will look to improve upon that record.
The Reds returned to winning ways after three games on Tuesday and will look to continue that form here. They have scored at least two goals in four of their five games in this fixture.
The Reds are unbeaten in the two games in the competition thus far, and considering their upper hand in the head-to-head record against the Karakum Warriors, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
