The national teams of South Korea and Uruguay will meet in a friendly match. How will the upcoming duel end? We'll figure it out.
South Korea
South Korea performed decently for itself at the World Cup in Qatar last year, leaving the group, where the national teams of Uruguay, Ghana and Portugal also played, and as a result lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Brazilian national team with a crushing score of 1:4. On March 24, the Asian national team held a friendly match against the national team of Colombia and led after the first half with the score 2:0 thanks to two goals scored by the forward of London Tottenham, Son Hyunmin, but in the end the meeting ended in a draw with the score 2:2.
Uruguay
Uruguay also participated in the Qatar World Cup (the South American team was in the same group with South Korea), but failed to reach the playoffs of the tournament, taking third place and losing second position only in additional indicators. On March 24, Uruguay, which after an unsuccessful World Cup replaced Oscar Tabares as head coach with Diego Alonso, held a friendly match against the Japanese national team, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Statistics and figures
- South Korea is the favorite of the match according to bookmakers;
- South Korea has not lost at home for seven games;
- Uruguay has not lost away for six games;
- The teams have met eight times in their history: six wins against Uruguay, one draw and one win against South Korea.
Forecast
I think that the match can be productive, because South Korea will try to show decent football in front of its fans, and the Uruguay national team after the failed World Cup in Qatar will be looking for something new with a new head coach. I propose to make two bets on the upcoming match: both teams will score and the total total of 2.5 goals is more.
