Bitesize Prediction: South Korea vs Oman – 20/03/25

Competition: World Cup Qualifiers

Market: South Korea win to nil

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

Getting their World Cup qualifying campaign back underway on Thursday morning, South Korea will welcome Oman to the Goyang Stadium.

Starting with the hosts, while South Korea might have suffered Asian Cup heartbreak 13 months ago as they fell to a shock 2-0 loss against Jordan at the semi-final stage, Hong Myung-bo’s men have come roaring back. Reaching the Round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup over in Qatar, it is no secret that the Taegeuk Warriors are pencilled in as a standout contender to book another automatic ticket. Despite signing off 2024 with a 1-1 stalemate against Palestine, South Korea are unbeaten in all of their six qualifying appearances and they will certainly be smelling another golden opportunity when they return to action in midweek. Unbeaten in all of their last 10 matchups across all competitions since their Asian Cup frustration back in February 2024, Thursday’s hosts have also impressed with their clinical performances in the final third. It should also be noted, Myung-bo’s side have not suffered a single World Cup qualifying defeat in front of their own supporters since way back in the summer of 2013.

As for the visitors, signing off 2024 with a 1-0 defeat at home against Iraq, Oman have a major Group B tussle on their hands. Only mustering six points in as many World Cup qualifying appearances, the Reds will be bracing themselves for another heavyweight challenge when open the New Year on Thursday morning. Slumping to a woeful 4-0 drumming against Jordan back in October, Rashid Jaber’s camp will also be concerned by what is a nightmare record against South Korea. Hit with what was a routine 3-1 drumming when they welcomed the Taegeuk Warriors to Muscat for their reverse qualifying showdown on September 10th, it is no surprise that Oman are pencilled in as a landslide underdog here. In fact, Jaber’s men have lost each of their last three meetings by an aggregate score of 7-2. Not mustering a victory on foreign soil over the past nine months, the Reds couldn’t have asked for a tougher task in Goyang.

Bet: South Korea 8/11 to beat Oman to nil in Thursday’s World Cup qualifying battle @ 1xBet
