Betting tips – Ireland vs Oman – 31.08.2016
Ireland and Oman will face each other in a very unbalanced friendly game scheduled today. The game starts at 19:45, UK Time, and the hosts are clearly in pole-position at the bookies.
Ireland did a good job at EURO 2016, reaching the last 16 round when they faced France, losing 1-2. Robbie Keane just announced his retirement from International Football, so it will be a little more difficult for the hosts. Anyway, Ireland defeated Oman twice so far, 4-1 in 2012 and 2-0 in 2014. They are bookies favourites again, with odds around 1.22 for a victory here.
Oman have played only two games in 2016, winning 1-0 over Guam and losing 0-2 to Iran. They are inferior without any doubt, being clearly underdogs at the bookies, with odds around 15.00 for a win and 5.50 for a draw. Their last away win took place in June 2015, 2-1 in India, in the World Cup Qualifiers. We expect the visitors to focus on the defense, trying their best on counter attacks and set pieces.
Ireland vs Oman prediction: Oman +2.5 AH @ 1.37
We expect Ireland to control the game, but Oman will probably give their best in defense and we don’t see them losing this game by a margin of three or more goals. The odds are not so impressive, but decent, so we could give a try.
