Latest Oman vs Lebanon team information
Oman striker Rabia Al-Alawi suffered an injury after just 25 minutes as a substitute against Kuwait in March. However, he finished the season with five goal contributions in his last eight games for Al-Zawraa, and is now ready to start.
The two main strikers Muhsen Al-Ghassani and Abdulrahman Al-Mushaifri – each scored 2 goals in the World Cup qualifiers – are almost certain to be in the front line along with midfielder Salaah Al-Yahyaei (Al-Khaldiya Club).
On the Lebanese side, striker Malek Fakhro (MSV Duisburg) scored a double against Brunei in March and will almost certainly start this week.
With a stable defensive form, Lebanon's trio of defenders Hussein Zein, Ahmad Khairdien and Mohammad Safwan will likely continue to play alongside goalkeeper Mostafa Matar.

Latest football commentary Oman vs Lebanon
Oman have made impressive strides in the last six months, starting with the Gulf Cup where they reached the final after beating strong opponents like Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Unfortunately, Al-Ahmar could not win the championship when they lost 1-2 to Bahrain in the final match. However, that was also their only defeat in the last 10 matches in all competitions.
Since that defeat, Oman have gone four games unbeaten, including a 1-0 win over Kuwait and a draw with South Korea in World Cup qualifying in March – a result that left them fourth in the group with 10 points.
Oman's remaining two World Cup qualifiers are next month: a home game against Jordan and an away game against Palestine. Jordan is currently second in the group, three points ahead of Oman.
Since Czech coach Jaroslav Silhavy left the coaching position in October last year, local coach Rashid Jaber has led the team to two home matches and has not lost any, most recently a 4-1 win over Niger A' in a non-FIFA friendly.
Meanwhile, Lebanon are also in good form with a 5-0 win over Brunei in the third round of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers – Group B – at the end of March.
The win was Lebanon's fifth in a row and sixth unbeaten since last November. They have also scored two or more goals in each of their last five games.
Notably, Lebanon's defense has improved markedly since coach Miodrag Radulovic took over in December 2023, with the team keeping clean sheets in 7 of their last 10 matches.
Lebanon have also won all three of their last away games – against Myanmar in November and twice against Kuwait in December – although they have not beaten Oman away since 2012.
