Although it has not been the best of the qualifiers, Oman is still alive to qualify and this is the key game they will have to win against the qualification leaders, especially to catch up with Japan and Australia. In the last window they drew 1-1 with China, but lost at home to the Japanese by the narrowest of margins.

Saudi Arabia is just one win away from clinching its place in this year's World Cup and could do so with a victory. It is worth noting that they have not lost in the last phase of the qualification process and in the most recent FIFA Date they drew a goalless away draw against Australia and won away against Vietnam by the minimum difference.

Only six teams are playing for a place in the next round, with Saudi Arabia leading the way with 16 points and Oman, still alive, in fourth place with 7 points, four points behind Australia and five points behind Japan, third and second place respectively.
