Squad Ratings
The overall squad rating for Oman is 6.84, compared to 7.02 for Japan. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Oman's highest-rated starter is Ali Al Busaidi (7.10), while Japan's best-rated player is T. Minamino (7.18).
Attacking Output
The starting XI of Oman have contributed 3 goals and 4 assists this season, led by Muhsen Al Ghassani (2G). Japan's starters account for 4 goals and 3 assists, spearheaded by T. Minamino (2G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.
Defensive Solidity
Oman deploy 2 defenders rated 6.81 on average, against Japan's 5-man backline averaging 7.03. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.
Midfield Control
Oman field 8 midfielders averaging 6.84, versus Japan's 3 rated 6.84. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.
Forward Threat
Oman start 1 forward(s) averaging —, compared to 2 for Japan averaging 7.18. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.
Passing & Build-Up
Passing accuracy averages 47% for Oman and 64% for Japan. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.
Discipline
Oman's starters have collected 11 yellow cards this season, compared to 2 for Japan. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.
Age & Experience
The average age of Oman's starting XI is 32.1 (youngest: Salah Al-Yahyaei (27), oldest: Faiyz Al Rashidi (37)), while Japan average 32.9 (youngest: T. Tomiyasu (27), oldest: Y. Nagatomo (39)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.
Squad Depth
Oman's starters average 9 league appearances each, versus 2 for Japan. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
