In the reverse fixture last September, dominant Korea scored two late goals for a 3-1 win after a first-half stoppage-time own goal gave the Reds a rare chance to share the spoils with the World Cup regulars.
But Son Heung-min (82') and Joo Min-kyu (sealed the win with an injury-time goal in Muscat. In Goyang, the 23rd-ranked Taegeuk Warriors will start as clear favourites against Oman (80th).
With 14 from four wins and two wins, South Korea lead the six-team Group B. Hong Myung-bo's men should claim one of the two direct spots with ease. After the Oman match, they will take on Jordan, Iraq, and Kuwait. Two wins from their remaining four matches will be enough to seal an 11th consecutive World Cup qualification.
Oman, meanwhile, are fourth with six points, thanks to wins against Kuwait (4-0) and Palestine (1-0). A shock result in Korea will give Rashid Jaber and his team a massive boost in their bid to qualify for their first-ever World Cup. Their remaining fixtures are against Kuwait, Jordan, and Palestine -- teams they can beat, theoretically.
