Oman have had a relatively impressive World Cup campaign and still have a slim shot at automatic qualification for a maiden World Cup. The Reds have been on an upward trajectory in recent months that has seen them hold South Korea to a draw away from home and also claim a win over Saudi Arabia.
Lebanon are not in the World Cup qualifiers, having already been eliminated in the third round. However, they have been in fine form of their own, winning their last five on the spin.
