South Korea and Lebanon will meet in the second qualifying stage of the 2022 World Cup. Will the guests be able to win?
South Korea
South Korea has already secured a place in the third qualifying stage, but it is still unclear where it will finish in Group H. Now the Koreans have 13 points, which is three more than Lebanon. If Lebanon beats South Korea, it will win the group and the two of them will advance to the next qualifying round. By the way, it was in the confrontation with Lebanon that South Korea made the only misfire in the second qualifying round, playing 0-0. In the other four matches, South Korea won, and the overall score was 20-0.
Lebanon
At the moment, Lebanon is in second place with ten points and takes part in the battle of the second-place teams. The top four of them will go to the third round. So far, Lebanon is in the top three, but a misfire in the upcoming match could drop it outside the top 4. If Lebanon wins, it is guaranteed to make it to the next round, with South Korea as well. In five games, Lebanon has won three, drawn once, and lost once.
Statistics and figures:
- South Korea has not lost in the second stage yet: 4 wins and a draw;
- Lebanon lost in one match out of five;
- In the first round game, South Korea and Lebanon did not identify the strongest - 0: 0.
Forecast
South Korea does not need anything, it will continue the battle for the 2022 World Cup in the third stage in any case, but Lebanon only needs a victory to be guaranteed to go further. Given the increased motivation of the guests, I suggest you bet that they will score.
