This is what the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex Stadium looks like a few minutes before the match takes place.

It should be recalled that the first meeting between these two teams in the qualifiers took place a few months ago in Japan, where Oman pulled off a shock victory by the minimum difference with a goal by Issam Al Sabhi, so this Tuesday they will try to repeat the feat to climb positions in the standings.

Japan has won three of its last four games, which has put it back on track in the playoffs in third place after a dismal start that alarmed all Japanese fans.

A crucial match for Japan on Tuesday, where they have to win against an Oman team that also dreams of attending the Qatar 2022 World Cup. We begin with coverage of the game.

Although Japan has won four of their last five matches, they have already met in this qualifier on Japanese soil, where Oman pulled off the upset by winning by the narrowest of margins to take all three points.

Japan 0-1 Oman, 2021

Oman 0-1 Japan, 2019

Japan 4-0 Oman, 2016

Oman 1-2 Japan, 2012

Japan 3-0 Oman, 2012

His contribution and experience in recent matches has been reflected in a better defensive performance, also the player of Stuttgart of Germany, Wataru Endo, has the specialty of being a risk player in fixed tactical plays.

Watch out for goalkeeper Faiyz Al-Rushaidi, who is expected to have a lot of work to do against the Japanese and whose saves will be key to keep the game tight in order to get a positive result.

Japan have failed to convince and failed to get the desired results, but they are third in the standings with nine points and are coming off two straight wins, at home against Australia and recently away against Vietnam.

Despite everything, Oman is currently in the qualification zone and this game is crucial as they are only two points behind Japan and could overtake them with a win, hence the importance of this game.

The Oman vs Japan match will be played at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex Stadium, in Mascate, Oman. The kick-off is scheduled at 11:00 am ET.
