Oman: staying alive

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: keeping their unbeaten record

Saudi Arabia is just one win away from clinching its place in this year's World Cup and could do so with a victory.
