On June 10, 2025, Palestine and Oman will lock horns in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying showdown at the King Abdullah II Stadium in Amman, Jordan. This fixture represents the final matchday of the third round, with both sides fighting for the coveted spots in the fourth round of qualification.
Football fans across Europe can catch the action live at 20:15 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, while viewers in the UK should tune in at 19:15 BST. With qualification hopes on the line, this encounter promises high drama and significant stakes.
How are both teams coming into this?
Palestine arrive on the back of a mixed qualifying campaign. They’ve shown moments of defensive solidity but have struggled to convert chances in front of goal. With home advantage stripped away—playing at a neutral venue—they’ll need to find extra motivation to break down an Oman side that prides itself on organization.
Oman, meanwhile, have been the more consistent outfit in this group. They’ve picked up crucial away points and demonstrated a willingness to press high and control midfield battles. A draw could be enough to see them through, but the Green Wave will be keen to secure all three points and finish the group stage with confidence.
Our forecast
Expect a closely contested affair between two teams that know how much is at stake. Both sides may adopt a cautious approach in the opening stages, feeling each other out before committing men forward. Goals could be hard to come by in the first half as tactical discipline takes precedence.
Given the tight nature of this match, we’re leaning towards a low-scoring draw or a narrow victory for Oman. A sensible play might be to back under 2.5 goals, while a small stake on a 1-1 draw could offer value. If one side does edge it, Oman look slightly better placed to nick a late winner.
