On January 16th the three-time champions Saudi Arabia kick off their campaign, facing off against the formidable team of Oman live on TrillerTV+.
Let's take a quick dive into last AFC Asia Cup: back in 2019, the Saudi Arabian squad made a remarkable journey to the knockout phase, only to be halted by the then AFC Asia Cup Champions – the mighty team of Japan. Not to be outdone, the team of Oman also showcased their prowess, advancing to the Round of 16, where they faced a tough battle against Iran, a team that impressively reached the Semi-finals.
Now, let's talk head-to-head. In their last five encounters, it's been a nail-biter with Saudi Arabia clinching victory twice, two matches ending in a hard-fought draw, and Oman seizing a win in one. The stage is set at the iconic Khalifa International Stadium for what promises to be an exciting clash. Who will take the upper hand this time?
