Ibri and Al-Rustaq are set to clash in the Professional League on February 21, 2025, at 14:40 UTC at the Ibri Youth Complex. With both teams coming off impressive away results, this fixture promises to be an intriguing battle.

Looking at the odds, Ibri are priced at 2.93 for a home win, while Al-Rustaq stands as the slight favorite at 2.38. Meanwhile, a draw is available at 2.88, suggesting a tight contest. Given the numbers, our AI-generated best tip for this match is 1X (Ibri to win or draw) at 1.46 odds, with a confidence level of 5.0/10.

Historically, home teams in the Omani Professional League have won 40.5% of matches, while away teams have secured 31.5%. Draws occur in 28.0% of games, reinforcing the idea that Ibri could hold their ground here. Their last head-to-head meeting on December 5, 2024, ended in a goalless draw, suggesting another low-scoring affair could be on the cards.

Speaking of goals, our prediction for the under/over market is under 2.5 goals at 1.43 odds, with a confidence of 5.0/10. This aligns with league trends, where only 44.6% of matches see over 2.5 goals. Additionally, the expected scoreline is a narrow 1-0 win for Ibri, with a 0-0 half-time result.

Ibri’s squad is valued at €2.06m, slightly lower than Al-Rustaq's €2.58m. However, Ibri’s recent shock away win against Al-Nahda, despite massive 11.8 odds, proves they can defy expectations. Not to be outdone, Al-Rustaq also pulled off an upset against Oman Club with 6.8 odds. Clearly, both teams know how to shake things up.

With everything considered, backing Ibri to win at 2.93 odds could be a value bet, though a safer approach would be the 1X double chance at 1.46 odds. Expect a tight, tactical battle with limited goal action—perfect for those who enjoy the thrill of a nail-biting finish!
