DOHA: Asian champions Qatar will host neighbouring Oman in a key 2022 FIFA World Cup and 2023 Asian Cup joint qualifying match on Tuesday. Qatar lead Group E with 7 points after victories over Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Coached by Felix Sanchez, Qatar played a goalless draw against India last month. Oman, on the other hand, are second in the group with 6 points after two wins against India (2-1) and Afghanistan (3-0). Winning the match at Al Janoub Stadium on Tuesday will give the lead in the group. For Qatar, it will reach the tenth point and widen the difference with its opponent to 4 points although the Omani team has played a game less. If Gulf Cup winners Omani win on Tuesday, they will climb to the top of the group with 9 points, 2 points ahead of Qatar and can extend this difference to 5 points if they succeed in defeating Bangladesh in the next round. There is no doubt that winning is key for both teams, but it is difficult to predict the outcome. Both sides possess quality players who have won their sides key events like the Asian Cup and the Gulf Cup in the last two years. Qatar will pin their hopes on captain Hassan Al-Haydos, Akram Afif, Boualem Khouki, Abdul Karim Hassan and goalkeeper Saad Al-Sheeb. On the other hand, Oman also includes strong and distinguished elements such as goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi, captain Ahmed Kano, Abdul Aziz Al Muqbali, Mohsen Al Ghassani, Abdul Aziz Al Ghailani, Ali Al Busaidi and Ahmed Al Kaabi. The match venue for Tuesday's clash is a 2022 FIFA World Cup venue.
