FIFA Arab Cup
Salem Al Dawsari delivered a standout performance against Oman, setting up goals for Feras Al Brikan and Saleh Al Shehri in the opening day win against Oman.
Head coach Herve Renard remains confident his side will carry the same intensity into the meeting with a Comoros team that suffered a 3-1 defeat to Morocco in their opener.
"We faced a tough and experienced team, and we succeeded in achieving victory thanks to our experience. We will continue our journey until we win the title," said Renard.
Al Shehri echoed his coach’s confidence, emphasising the team’s ambition.
“We scored twice and got the three points. That's the most important thing for now but our target here is clear and that is that we have come to compete for the title,” said Al Shehri.
“Firstly we have to get out of the group stage and then we will see but this is an important tournament for our nation.”
Oman, having slipped to a 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, face an uphill task against 2012 winners Morocco.
Oman simply cannot afford another defeat which would spell an end to their campaign.
Head coach Carlos Queiroz will be relying on the experienced Ali Al Busaidi to lead his team and spring an upset against a Moroccan side firing on all cylinders.
