South Korea vs Oman prediction and betting tips on March 20, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 7th round of the World Cup qualification in Asia scheduled for March 20, 2025, a match will take place between the national teams of South Korea and Oman. The home team needs to win to secure the top spot in the group.
Our prediction for the match South Korea vs Oman
The South Korean team has always participated in the World Cup since 1986. They even achieved third place in the "home" tournament in 2002, and again managed to reach the playoffs in Qatar. However, winning the continental tournament has been elusive. A year ago, in the last Asian Cup, the favorite was eliminated in the semifinals. Oman is much more modest. Since appearing in the 1980s, they haven't qualified for one cup in 2011. In the last one, they couldn't advance from the group – a defeat to Saudi Arabia and a couple of draws.
In this qualification, the Koreans have performed as expected. Curiously, they couldn't win against Palestine, resulting in two draws. However, the other four matches brought only victories, with three of them being away games.
Rashid Jaber's team managed to secure home wins against Kuwait (with a resounding 4-0) and Palestine. So, despite losing all other four matches, there are still chances for second place - although maintaining at least the current fourth position would be wise. In winter, they reached the final of the Persian Gulf Cup but lost 1-3 to Bahrain.
On average, the Koreans score 2.4 goals while conceding 0.6 - statistics befitting a true grandee. The visitors are much humbler, but still maintain a positive ratio of 1.3/1.1.
