Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Iran is 7.05, compared to 6.84 for Oman. 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. Iran's highest-rated starter is M. Mohammadi (7.33), while Oman's best-rated player is Ali Al Busaidi (7.10).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Iran have contributed 7 goals and 5 assists this season, led by M. Taremi (3G). Oman's starters account for 3 goals and 4 assists, spearheaded by Muhsen Al Ghassani (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

Iran deploy 4 defenders rated 7.08 on average, against Oman's 2-man backline averaging 6.81. 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

Iran field 3 midfielders averaging 6.66, versus Oman's 8 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

Iran start 3 forward(s) averaging 7.19, compared to 1 for Oman averaging —. 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 53% for Iran and 47% for Oman. 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

Iran's starters have collected 4 yellow cards this season, compared to 11 for Oman. 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 Iran's starting XI is 33.2 (youngest: M. Hosseini (29), oldest: O. Ebrahimi (38)), while Oman average 32.1 (youngest: Salah Al-Yahyaei (27), oldest: Faiyz Al Rashidi (37)). 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

Iran's starters average 5 league appearances each, versus 9 for Oman. 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.
