The other two nations in the Group are Thailand and Kyrgyzstan, who just played out the opening group match in Doha. The main favourites of the group are the two Middle-East sides, which are also the two highest-ranking nations in Group F.

Following an impressive year of signing new players for the Saudi Pro League, the Green Falcons advanced toward the first goal when they finished 2023 with a perfect record in World Cup qualifying. Head coach Roberto Mancini enjoyed his first victory since joining the team in August as they defeated Pakistan 4-0, with two goals each from Saleh Al-Shehri.

Five days later, the Al-Hilal striker scored two more goals against Jordan before Saudi Arabia turned their attention to their return to Qatar, where they had shocked the Argentinians little over a year prior. Mancini's team has played three friendlies this month, keeping three clean sheets. They defeated Lebanon 1-0, drew 0-0 with Palestine in Doha, and will wrap up their preparations on Wednesday against Hong Kong.

Before their Group F opening, which takes place nearly a year to the day after their last meeting with Oman, Saudi Arabia's unbeaten streak reached five games with a 2-0 victory. When the teams met last year, Oman won 2-1 in the Gulf Cup, thanks to a late winner by Harib Al-Saadi that clinched victory against Saudi Arabia.

After defeating UAE 1-0 in a friendly match last week, the Reds are now getting ready to face their rivals from West Asia once more, thanks to a goal from Abdullah Fawaz in the fifth minute.
